Florida will require I.D. match for all would-be voters
Miami Herald via mcclatchydc.com ^ | 09/09/08 | Mary Ellen Klas

TALLAHASSEE — State elections officials will resume enforcement of a controversial state law that requires Floridians to have their identification match up with a state or federal database in order to register to vote.

Secretary of State Kurt Browning sent notice to the state's 67 supervisors of elections on Friday that the 2006 law, which has been on hold for the last year pending court rulings, would take effect again Sept. 8.

The result is that voters whose identification doesn't match with state files on Election Day will be given a provisional ballot and two days to prove their identity for their ballot to count.

The State of Indiana, which fought this all the way to The United States Supreme Court, and won, says - "You're welcome."

Here in California you don’t need any I.D., can’t figure out why.

Uh. Um. Because the Department of Mexican Voters, er, Motor Vehicles, can't keep up?

"Expect the Democrats to file suit in about 30 seconds"

They don't have a leg to stand on. The Supreme Court ruled that states can require a valid proof of citizenship(ID), in order for someone to vote.

Sorry dems, you won’t be able to have dead people vote, or live people vote twice again.

Non-story it already has been happening.

I work the polls here in Florida as a Clerk and everyone who votes has to show a photo ID, no exceptions. No photo ID, they speak with the Election Assistant and get a provisional.

We’ve done this in August with the local primaries and in January for the national primaries.

Unless it is county by county.

To work, this still requires poll watchers in every poll to prevent poll workers from OK'ing people whose IDs don't match the rolls.

This is racist and liveist. It restricts people to one single vote, no matter how many places their community organizer has signed them up in. And it completely denies the right of the dead to vote.

in my county st johns county of FL they always have checked our ID with a picture and then compare that to a database

now why does our state always have problems in just the Dem counties?

mmmmmmmm

voter fraud will be rife this year and many north east liberals will be voting here while living back in their state up in the north east
I just hope FL keeps their eye on this

I've had to do this when voting in IL, MO and MN. So far in my travels, having been a regiustered voter at times in each. I did not have to show ID to vote in IA, but did have to sign a statement that I am who I was saying I am at the poll.

Personally, I don't cheat and am comfortable with the ID thing. When I worked in the IL and MO polss, at various times, I never once had anyone refuse to provide an ID.

here is another sense shocker for them

you have had to have paid taxes , also raise the voting age

what does most 18 year olds know about the world , they have just left high school , some are still in high school, most know nothing about paying taxes, raising kids, having a house and responsibility

same as these welfare 8 kid mothers who just eat at burger king, drive their loud hip hop music Cadillac .

pay into the system before you can have a say in the direction of the system

I could drive in another state and yet that cop would know about me on a fed database, so why can’t they have a similar database stopping illegals too

also voters should be asked 5 questions before being allowed to vote, so they know where the candidates stand, for instance which one wants homosexual marriage, who wants to raise your taxes, who wants to reduce the military.
one question wrong and you have to take the test again , 3 times fail you do not get to vote

course the Dems would never allow it as they would never get in power again

it is because of the welfare, illegals,layabouts, dumb voters out there who give them the votes they need to get power in places

I’ve always thought - one tax dollar, one vote. Bring in your tax form and you get the number of votes that you paid taxes for.
