In Florida, 88 percent of those surveyed said they support the laws.

Ahh, Byron. Florida already has a voter ID law. I have to show my government issued ID (Drivers license / Military ID) every time I vote. You really need to research your stories better.

If we treated voter fraud like the treason it is and prosecuted it accordingly, we’d have a lot less of it.

Democrats allege that the laws, many of which require a photo ID for voting, discriminate against blacks and Hispanics.

All of whom need ID's to write or cash checks, including SS checks, drivers licenses to drive, to fly...........

Schultz called voter ID laws the work of Republicans "who want to literally drag us all the way back to Jim Crow laws and literally -- and very transparently -- block access to the polls to (illegal) voters who are more likely to vote Democratic."

Somehow, Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz omitted a key word.

I can understand Hispanics supporting Voter ID. In Mexico, voter registration cards are laminated plastic, with a hologram, picture ID, and thumb print on the back...not to mention the ink-on-the-finger method to mark who’s voted.

We may laugh at Mexico (or cry, for that matter), but they take their voting integrity much more seriously than the US does.

In general, Hispanic voters in Colorado and New Mexico are more liberal than those in Florida. But strong majorities in all three states favor photo ID laws.

This is largely due to the actual background of the Hispanics in question. Those of Cuban decent tend to be more conservative, since historically, most Cubans who came to the US were those of the middle to upper middle class whose very livelihood was destroyed by Castro's regime. Most Mexican immigrants as well as Central Americans who immigrate here, at least in the last 40 years, are poor even by their own country's standards, and they make up the majority of CO and NM immigrants, and naturally would be more open to the idea of government cradle-to-grave type policies. However, they aren't as hard-wired into liberalism as you'd think.

It won’t matter. The MSM has their narrative and they are sticking to it.

Overwhelming public opinion means something when government governs by the consent of the people. Governor Martinez may want to do that, but try selling it to our Democrat legislators. They are foolish enough to think that they can secure their political success by catering to illegals.

I can imagine. Most legal residents and citizens must be tired of being lumped in with illegals. I am sure they would be in favor of this, to separate themselves from the illegals.
