If you're not smart enough to acquire and present a valid picture ID when going to the polls, you shouldn't be voting.
some good news
Sanity breaks out!
The DNC are still pulling some kind of shenanigans with the machine count. Otherwise they would not have forbidden the paper ballot recount/comparison.
Born in Taxachusetts, but moved south. Apparently was appointed a district judge by G. W. Bush.

Why can’t other states just craft their laws to mirror that of Indiana\, which SCOTUS has already give an official Okie-Dokie?
Finally, a Judge with a brain.
You can’t even get a Library Card without a drivers license.
For sure you can’t get a bank account.
In Georgia the government was willing to go to those homes that had no ID and make them one right then and there.
Maybe Supreme Court material, eventually.
They need to get rid of student ID as an accepted ID for voting. You don’t have to be a resident or even a citizen to get one.
Allowing part-time residents (as many students are) to vote in local elections historically has caused a lot of problems.
If they can get off their arses to get an EBT/Food Stamp card they can get a State ID Card too.
This should be used as a precedent nationwide.
Good news but shouldn’t voting require the effort and responsibility of proving one’s identity even if it did place a slight burden on its citizens. The coddling continues.
Friggin’ Birmingham as always. Disgusting and corrupt to the bone.
“nearly the entire population of registered voters in Alabama already possess a photo ID that can be used for voting.”
Which begs the question, why are people allowed to register to vote without proof of identity?
We go to the polls. We HAVE to show a photo ID. They find your name on the print out and compare your name on the ID and the print out from the registration office. When they are satisfied!!you are who you claim, you SIGN next to your name on the print out. You are given your ballot and you go vote and then go over to the machine and slide it through the counter machine and give them back their pen and depart. Streamline. Quick. Efficient. Honest. No cheaters. That is the way we do in down here in the Home of the NCAA National College Football Champions, Alabama!!! The Heart of Dixie!! The MOST Conservative state in the union. The second ranked Christian state after Mississippi, the last poll I saw. So, we ain’t doing to bad.
I believe that the voter picture ID requirement is effective because, unlike most liberals, I don’t believe that all blacks look alike!
“””In 2011, the Alabama legislature passed a photo ID requirement for both in-person and absentee voting.”””
Also good news that absentee voters have to show ID before either getting a blank ballot or submitting their completed ballot.
For too long I have been concerned that ‘mail-in’ or ‘drop box’ absentee voting allows the scoundrels to illegally vote.
“shouldn’t voting require the effort and responsibility of proving one’s identity even if it did place a slight burden on its citizens.”
No... ‘cause slavery.
And, Democrats can’t win without illegal votes.
Crikey, how many times does Alabama’s Voter ID law need to be upheld?
