NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A proposal that requires Tennessee voters to show photo identification before they can cast ballots has been signed by the governor.

Under the proposal, a person who can't show proper identification would be able to vote by provisional ballot, and individuals in nursing homes or group homes would be exempt.

Supporters say the law is needed to protect the integrity of the ballot box, while opponents are concerned it might disenfranchise voters.

From my poll watching in nursing homes, that is one of the places of greatest abuse. The Dim poll workers parade in the completely mentally incapacitated and “help” them vote.

The vote is too important for us to not know exactly who is casting them. Screw the liberals’ “disenfranchisement” BS. I want to know who is voting and that they are only voting ONCE. My grandchildrens future depends upon it. If the ‘RAT voters are too poor to pay for an I.D., the maggots at the DNC should pay for them.

The test of voter id bills is this: how much does the Democrat vote drop off in the next and subsequent elections. This will be a precise measure of how many votes the rat bastards were stealing. I can’t wait.

It will disenfranchise illegal Democrat voters. That's a serious Democrat concern.
