Minorities hardest hit!
Aren't legal I.D.'s like 7 dollars? (her in ILLinois they are)
There is nothing I can say here.... it all sucks.
Wahwahwah! If the Georgia law passes the state will provide the ID for free if you don't already have one. In Indiana a state provided ID card is $9 and lasts for 4 years. If you can't handle either of those options, maybe you have bigger problems in life than voting.
The Dems are the party of vote fraud, and if these ID requirements go into effect it will make fraud that much harder. Ignore the other excuses about poverty and racism. Vote fraud is the only reason they oppose these laws.
"Critics say the measures in Indiana, Georgia and Wisconsin do not provide good alternatives for those without photo IDs. "
This is BS. Who actually gets through life with out a photo id? The mall around me has been requiring photo id when you use your credit card.
Why is this such a "hot" topic? I can sort of see it along the same lines as making everyone pass a reading test :/ but i would hardly say it is/could be used as a discrimination tool.
This just shows that Demotwits are composed of losers who can't figure out how to obtain a drivers license or a state issued photo ID......or they just don't want to make it difficult to commit vote fraud. Probably a little of both :-)
"they say would deprive the poor, the elderly and minorities of the right to vote."
Translated from Democratese to English: They say it would deprive Democrats of votes because it would hinder fraudulent voting.
In the Georgia proposal you can used an Expired Driver's license of get a Free Non-driver driver's license to use as an ID. What could be easier than that?
As the Indy Sec. of State said you need a pic id for banking-and for renting videos, library cards, and a host of other things.
Does anyone here not have a pic id? How do ya get certain things done without it?
Gosh the media is so stupid and gullible. Showing ID has nothing to do with poll taxes or eligibility. There are 250 million adults in America, and I wager that no more than 50,000 of them walk out the door in the morning without a driver's license. That's 0.02%. How dumb do they think Americans are?
"Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle, a Democrat, has already vetoed a similar measure and has vowed to do so again."
Let me be the first Wisconsinite to say, "No Chit." He's a crook from the git-go. Promised MILLIONS in kick-backs to Indian Gaming in our state in exchange for votes, then scr#wed them, too! He couldn't have gotten elected through an above-board election. I HATE my State Government.
Tommy Thompson? Where are you? Come save us from ourselves! We need you. We miss you! We LOVE you!
Doyle is, hands down, our Worst Governor EVER. If anyone doubts me, ask me to post the miriad scandals we've had in this state in the past four years. Half our legislature is going to the slammer on one corruption charge or another.
Criminey. I feel like I live in New Jersey, LOL!
For what it's worth, it looks like the legislature here in Indiana will pass this bill and newly elected Governer Mitch Danials is certain to sign it into law.
