This is about Republicans scaring off just enough eligible elderly, disabled, blacks and Hispanics to stay in power

Between starving children, raping the rain forest, raising sea levels, directing hurricanes, burning a hole in the ozone, melting the planet, and this; Republicans display a superhuman ability at budgeting their time.

Salute.

Actually, this might stem some of the massive voter fraud perpetrated by the Dems. And I believe it was HUGE!

Democrats proffer a different view: The move is nothing more than an attempt to suppress fraudulent voting by minorities, the elderly and disabled.

There, fixed the article.

I agree and hopefully we will soon have a PHOTO ID requirement here in Tennessee! ;-)

Translation: with ID, minority voters and hippies can vote numerous times and illegal immigrants (felons) can vote, and probably multiple times as well.

With the billions of tax-payer dollars going to ACORN, I’m sure they’ll be able to take a few photographs.

Maybe the polls should require a fingerprint instead.

Are they like vampires... their images don't show up in photos? We all know this is a voter-fraud protection issue.

Minorities are too stupid to have valid ID's? The elderly have their Social Security cards and AARP cards. The disabled have no ID? How do they cash their disability checks?

It sounds more like the democrats are trying to protect illegal immigrant and fraudulent voting to me. Without those, they lose elections. Where would ACORN, Move On, etc. get their bogus ballots?

Republicans have a 19-12 majority in the senate, but a meager 74-72 majority in the house. They do control the governor’s mansion.

Hopefully they can get this through. Thoughts? Any TX FReepers have any ideas on how this will play out?

I went to the SLUM side of Houston, and got some fake I.D, they told me I could take a pick of a drivers license from any state of the U.S. (I chose Arkansas) When I told them, ‘this is my REAL name’, they laughed and said, ‘yeah, that’s what everyone says’. The ID worked well, no one ever knew it was fake. They do these kinds of things real well, look for places where people buy/sell cocaine, and rent hotels by the hour, and drifters some and go.

Seven states already have laws requiring voter photo identification, though none has experienced widespread voter disenfranchisement or exposed significant fraud

Maybe that's because they REQUIRE ID!

Their official position is that they are for voter id, but not photo id.
