It is disappointing, but not surprising the the Party of Jim Crow opposes #VoterID, but supports non-citizens who are in this country illegally having the vote. It is particularly galling and ironic that they would characterize VoterID as racist.

When illegal aliens vote, minorities are disenfranchised. So this opposition from the Leftist elite is pure demagoguery and crocodile tears. If they really wanted to protect the minority vote, they would support VoterID and facilitate broad-scale community outreach to ensure that minorities got valid identification at no cost.

And of course, the real reason the Left opposes VoterID is they think illegal aliens -- will their votes purchased with taxpayer-funded benes -- will cast their ballots for the Democrats. If they tended to vote Republican, there would be a 100-foot electrified fence, a cinderblock wall with remote-operated gun emplacements and a piranha-infested moat.

And they would say anyone who opposed the wall is racist.

Here's an absurdity for Senior citizens in Cuyahoga County. To ride the RTA and get the Sr. discount on election day or as an early walk in voter, I had to show a photo ID. To vote. a weak ID.....like a utility bill confirming an address was okay. Yea, more ID to get the Senior RTA discount than to vote! Then there's those dang mail-in ballots. There's absolutely no ID involved with them, just having possession of a registered voters "request for mail-in ballot" that's sent to every voter. Then there's early voting, which is used to manipulate a lot of people into voting early for someone else's choice.

With all that, no wonder the puppetmasters are incredulous that Trump won.

“Option 3 — In a case where the voter appears at the poll with no form of identification and is registered, they will receive a blue provisional ballot envelope. After voting, they will place the ballot in the envelope.

“A type of provisional ballot is something that has been available in federal and state elections previously,” Alexander said. “This is a new kind of provisional ballot that will be available in every election for someone who is a registered voter that walks into their polling place, ‘Hi, I’m John Doe and I’m here to vote. I don’t have any ID on me.

“John Doe can go ahead and vote because he is in the poll book. He’ll fill out the provisional ballot envelope and the ballot will go into the envelope and it will stay there until either John Doe comes back with his photo ID on election day or, say John Doe doesn’t have a photo ID, that provisional ballot envelope comes back to the clerk’s office at the end of the election.

“On that envelope is a place where the voter will sign their signature. If the clerk can mark the signature on the envelope to the signature that’s on file for that voter — the same type of signature matching process that currently goes on for the initiative”

Unbelievable.

I have a better idea.

Option 3.

Come back when you get a voter ID.

Simple.

Because of a law passed by the United States Congress I have to show ID in order to buy an allergy medicine that's considered so harmless that it doesn't even require a doctor's prescription.

And yet in *my* state at least it's ILLEGAL for any town official to ask for proof of citizenship when registering to vote in that town or for a polling station official to ask for ID before handing a person a ballot.

I was told this by the Town Clerk of my town a few years ago.
