Whose photo will be used on Barry’s?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

But no photo ID for voting, right?

[DouglasKC]

“This is a really bad idea,” Paul said in a statement. “The Social Security card is only supposed to be used for Social Security benefits. This idea would make it easy for the federal government to convert the Social Security card into a national identification card.”

That boat sailed a long time ago...

[LucianOfSamasota]

Yes, let’s.

And we can use these for voter ID.

[Don Corleone]

To vote in Mexico you have to get a photo ID with a fingerprint and you have to show a birth certificate to obtain it. Also it must be picked up in person. In the Marxist USA....not so.

[RedStateRocker]

I think the whole ‘voter ID’ thing has been a ploy, a la “please don’t throw me into the briar patch” for the statists of both parties to roll with a national ID.
Way more worried about that than about illegal aliens voting.

Ripe for ID theft. People should not even carry around their SS card with no picture on it. Indiana years ago was using SS as a auto license number.

That ended because people lost their DL and their SS was out there exposed with picture ID, address and age.

Demorats are stupid beyond belief.

[latina4dubya]

so my kids got their SS cards when they were tots... is that when they would have taken their photos?

[PGR88]

And use it for ID in all elections?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Did he just fall off the turnip truck? That ship sailed a long time ago.

[Count of Monte Fisto]

FDR swore on a stack of Bibles to the skeptical American people that the social security number was NOT an id number. Suckers!

[Red Badger]

Wellllllllll.............that would ‘solve’ the ‘Photo ID’ problem wouldn’t it?..............................

[Old Retired Army Guy]

“National ID Card”? Maybe everybody should have one of those to vote. Let’s see how that idea goes over with the Dems.

[Cheerio]

The Social Security Number is NOT to be Used for Identification

[no-to-illegals]

How often do I need to have a new photo affixed to my ss card? Where do I go to have new photo affixed to my ss card? How much is this going to cost me for a new photo to be affixed to my card? The money paid for a new photo and card, who receives the money? Where will the money collected from this requirement be spent or will the money go into the general fund for government expenditures? ... The article does not say.

A little rant Sub-Driver and was not directed at you.

[jsanders2001]

I have files upon files of fake IDs that contain photographs of the same person with different names, dates of birth, and driver’s license numbers or ID. The illegals know where to get fake IDs to collect multiple welfare checks. What makes them think they won’t do the same with social security cards? I hate to say it but the only way I can see that the photo could be tied with any degree of accuracy to an ID would be through biometrics and even then there are many very similar looking people on earth that are unrelated that could pass for twins.

[USS Alaska]

I've been a poll watcher for years in PA and have seen the voter fraud first hand and I'm in favor of Voter ID cards, BUT, if you can vote via mail, nothing prevents that kind of massive voter fraud.

I believe that there should be ONE DAY for voting, and if you can't be there in person, you lose, with the exception of military persons voting via absentee ballots.

This will never happen because too many demonRATs know that mail voting almost guarantees them a winning spot on the ticket.

Voters from old age homes should be verified for competence as too many ballots are filed by Nurse Rachett, and the "voter" hasn't got a clue as to what they signed.

[BenLurkin]

FDR told America they would never be used for Federal IDs.

[NEMDF]

Think of all the new federal jobs this would create. Probably would need thousands of new employees to implement and manage this endeavor.

[Logical me]

Do these idiots realize how many millions would have to get a photo made. Look at the inconvenience or is that all our government is now, just plain stupid. Can you imagine what a newly born baby would have for the id picture? And as we grow older the picture would have to be retaken and new cards issued. Can't we just ask the government to go to damn asleep and just get off our backs???????
