How about senile people

A major Dem constituency. It's how those Kennedys keep getting elected.

[Purrcival]

Discrimination against dead people! Dead people and illegal immigrants and convicted felons should be able to vote. Democrats should be able to vote as many times as they want!!! /sarc

[Bullish]

For people who supposedly don't have any ID I'll bet they have no problem cashing their welfare checks.

How can any adult get along without ID? If you're over 18 and you don't bother to get ID than you're just a total loser, and you really have no business voting.

Democrats are such damn liars, it makes me sick.

[TexasCajun]

Someone should tell the Democrats that even Mexico has picture id's on their voter registration roles.

So, they don't need an ID to vote, only one to register.

When a Mexican goes to vote, their picture is attached to the voter registration records.

[Republican Red]

Told you I was confused! I really didn't know it meant "picture id". Thanks for the info.

[doodad]

No, an appelate judge overruled the idiot judge in the first decision in her ruling that a legislative rule applied to amendments.

Due to timing though, we are using the old rules that allow 17 different types of ID many of which are non photo.

Hello, fellow Georgian here:

We have to show an ID, but it doesn't necessarily have to be a PICTURE ID, under the current law. The following site outlines the kinds of acceptable ID:

Voting on Election Day

When you arrive at your polling place, you will complete a voter's certificate which asks for your name and residence address. You will then present the certificate and proper identification to the poll officials who will verify that you are a registered voter in that precinct by checking the voters list for that precinct. Voters are required to present identification at their polling place prior to casting their ballot. Proper identification shall consist of any one of the following:

(1) A valid Georgia driver's license;

(2) A valid identification card issued by a branch, department, agency, or entity of the State of Georgia, any other state, or the United States authorized by law to issue personal identification;

(3) A valid United States passport;

(4) A valid employee identification card containing a photograph of the elector and issued by any branch, department, agency, or entity of the United States government, this state, or any county, municipality, board, authority, or other entity of this state;

(5) A valid employee identification card containing a photograph of the elector and issued by any employer of the elector in the ordinary course of such employer´s business;

(6) A valid student identification card containing a photograph of the elector from any public or private college, university, or postgraduate technical or professional school located within the State of Georgia;

(7) A valid Georgia license to carry a pistol or revolver;

(8) A valid pilot's license issued by the Federal Aviation Administration or other authorized agency of the United States;

(9) A valid United States military identification card;

(10) A certified copy of the elector's birth certificate;

(11) A valid social security card;

(12) Certified naturalization documentation;

(13) A certified copy of court records showing adoption, name, or sex change;

(14) A current utility bill, or a legible copy thereof, showing the name and address of the elector;

(15) A bank statement, or a legible copy thereof, showing the name and address of the elector;

(16) A government check or paycheck, or a legible copy thereof, showing the name and address of the elector; or

(17) A government document, or a legible copy thereof, showing the name and address of the elector.

If an elector is unable to produce any of the items of identification listed, he or she shall sign a statement under oath swearing or affirming that he or she is the person identified on the elector's voter certificate.

If your name is found on the voter list, you will be issued a voter access card and admitted into a voting booth to cast your vote using an electronic touch screen voting unit. After you cast your ballot the machine will automatically eject the voter access card and you will return the card to a poll official. Instructions on how to operate the electronic touch screen voting unit are posted at each polling place and you may ask a poll official for assistance.

A voter who registered by mail and who is voting for the first time in this state shall present to poll workers either one of the forms of identification listed above or one of the following:

(1) A copy of a current utility bill;

(2) a bank statement; or

(3) a government check, paycheck or other government document that shows the name and address of the elector.

A voter who registered by mail and who is voting for the first time in this state and who does not have any of the forms of identification listed may vote a provisional ballot upon swearing or affirming that the elector is the person identified in the elector’s voter certificate. Such provisional ballot shall only be counted if the registrars are able to verify current and valid identification of the elector within the time period for verifying provisional ballots.

Ah, yes, I remember reading about that. Trying to determine the intent of the voter. Can you imagine the howls if Republicans did that?

This is actually a 2 front war in Ga.The appeals court judge is a state judge.The Demms also backed it up with their in the pocket Federal Judge in Rome.He is the brother of former speaker Murphy who ruled the Ga. House for 40 years.A friend of mine said the first time he ever shook hands with him his eyes were black as coals and for the only time in his life he had the impression he was meeting a man with a dead soul.

Yes. Voting fraud in Detroit has been a joke for many years. Not that the media or prosecutors would ever notice. It's about time.

(14) A current utility bill, or a legible copy thereof, showing the name and address of the elector;

(15) A bank statement, or a legible copy thereof, showing the name and address of the elector;

In PA newly registered voters need to show ID (I did this year because I'd moved). While showing a utility bill shows you live there, how does that prevent non-citizen's from voting? They get utility bills too, don't they?

[Purrcival]

That's what I don't understand. You need a picture ID of some sort just to FUNCTION -- like cashing checks, just as you said. So what's the problem???

[Purrcival]

Yes, non-citizens get utility bills, too, but they have to also show up on the list of registered voters. Of course, they can claim to be registered if they don't show up on the list, and they would be given provisional ballots.

But in any case, if people throw their utility bills in the garbage, I could get my hands on someone else's utility bill just by doing some dumpster diving or rooting through someone's garbage can, if I were so inclined.

[Dutch Boy]

The problem is that the dems will find it too hard to fake elections if too much ID is required. Personally I think that a finger print match is the way to go.

"Democrats file fill briefs in voter ID case"

[AZRepublican]

The 14th Amendment gurantees the right to vote? This is news to me. This Dummycrap has no clue to anything US Constitution.

[Purrcival]

Fingerprint match, iris scan.

Even photo IDs can be fake.

[Purrcival]

Call Miss Cleo - she can tell you what the intent of the voter was!

[Dutch Boy]

But it is much better than just letting some unknown person walk up and vote. It's not easy to fake hundreds of thousands of votes when each voter has a unique ID. There is no perfect system other than possible a full DNA test for every voter that is matched to the previous vote and cross referenced against every other registered voter to ensure there are no duplicates registered.

[Bullish]

So what's the problem???

The real problem is they're lying through their teeth.

They don't want any impedance to their rampant voter fraud that prevails in all inner city precincts. And the MSM never even breathes a word about what's become an epidemic of corruption of our election process. If "news shows" like 60 minutes were on the level they would do shocking exposes about voting fraud. But since those fraudulent votes are almost 100% democrat, they won't touch it, in fact, they're totally in favor of the fraud as long as it's Republicans being cheated.
