What block of voters in this country does not have some for of ID? You can’t cash a check without an ID. You can’t use a debit card without an ID. You can’t do a lot of things without an ID. So what voters are going to be left behind without an ID?

My wife recently had to renew her drivers license and needed her passport, mail to her from some reputable company at the address and her Social Security card. You need to show photo ID to board any domestic flight. So what is the problem about needing a photo ID to vote?

Texas already requires a photo ID or is that only those tha left their registration slip at home?

Only if you don't have your voter registration card. If you have your voter registration card (or anybody else's voter registration card for that matter) there is NO requirement for ID and they won't even look at it if you try to show it to them.

An ID is already required to vote in many states. I see nothing wrong with that.

Here in New Jersey, one signs a book when originally registering. From then on, one signs in for every election. The signatures should match.

This system works well except for the pressure to allow people to come in and register at the polls with no ID at all. The Democrats always are pushing for the loosest qualifications possible, because they suspect in their hearts that the most careless, unprepared voters (and the most uneducated and uninformed) are mostly easily herded to their side.

So what does she do when she has to cash a check or use a credit card?

Does she ever stay at a motel or get license plates?

I have to produce a photo ID a dozen or more times a year and I use cash as much as I can for most things.

She should be used to it if she has any kind of life.

Voting is too important to the validity of our system of government to be squeamish about making people uncomfortable.

Perhaps people should be a little uncomfortable when voting. It is a very serious business and you shouldn’t be voting if you are not truly serious about the outcome of elections.

I agree with you 100%.
The woman I know is active in the NAACP and Democrat party. She is 83, healthy as an ox, drives other black people to the polls in a mini van. I am sure she knows there is fraud among the people she drives there.

My husband is a Republican judge at our precinct. When I read the first paragraph of the article to him, he was grinning broadly until I got to the part that some thought it would be discriminatory. He said “darn right, discriminatory against illegals and others who ought NOT to be voting.”.

The young man replied, “I don’t live in this county; I just voted here.”

I wonder why the judge did not have the young man arrested on the spot having just admitted to a crime.

He should be arrested for criminal stupidity for admitting his crime in front of a judge anyway.

Voting rights advocates acknowledge most people already need identification to get by in society, but they contend that voting is different . . .

So now we're supposed to call fraudulent vote manufacturing community organizers Voting rights advocates?

My sister-in-law is mentally handicapped and doesn’t go out alone, drive, or do many ordinary things we all take for granted AND SHE HAS A PHOTO ID.

If they don’t want to pony up 10 buckazoids for a card, then they ought not to be voting.

Well Fraud is such an ugly word so they came up with Voting rights advocates to make the profession more publicly acceptable.

Requiring ID in North Carolina will hamstring Democrat vote fraud efforts. It needs to be implemented ASAP. This will be the first step in breaking the Dem stranglehold on this state.

The Republicans are now in solid control in the NC legislature with a 31-19 majority in the Senate and a 63-57 majority in the House.

"Republican lawmakers say requiring identification at the polls is a common-sense way to prevent voter fraud, but critics argue the move would open the door to discrimination make it more difficult for dead people and illegals to vote for Democrats."

True, but the Dems still dominate many county-and city level positions, as well as the entire state-level executive branch except, I think, for the SecLabour.
