Why Americans Support Voter ID Laws
Real Clear Politics ^ | December 27, 2011 | Jack Kelly

The state chairman of Indiana's Democratic Party resigned recently as a probe of election fraud in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary widened...

The NAACP has asked the United Nations to intervene to block state voter ID laws. It may have an ulterior motive for opposing ballot security measures. An NAACP official was convicted on 10 counts of absentee voter fraud in Tunica County, Miss., in July.

Former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis, who is black, said vote fraud is rampant in African-American districts like his in Alabama.

"The most aggressive contemporary voter suppression in the African-American community is the wholesale manufacture of ballots at the polls and absentee, in parts of the Black Belt," Mr. Davis said. "Voting the names of the dead, and the nonexistent, and the too mentally impaired to function cancels out the votes of citizens who are exercising their rights."...

This year there have been investigations, indictments or convictions for vote fraud in California, Texas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Georgia, North Carolina and Maryland. In all but one case, the alleged fraudsters were Democrats.

In none would the fraud alleged have altered a major election, Democrats note. But in the Illinois gubernatorial election in 1982, 100,000 votes cast in Chicago -- 10 percent of the total -- were fraudulent, the U.S. attorney there estimated.

Fraud of the magnitude which swings elections typically combines absentee ballot fraud and voter registration fraud. At least 55 employees or associates of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now have been convicted of registration fraud in 11 states, says Matthew Vadum of the...

A recent Gallup poll indicates why Mr. Holder is trying so hard to gut ballot security measures. Mr. Obama trails in all swing states. Democrats fear they can't win next year unless they cheat.

We need ID for checking accounts, fast cash, supermarkets, birth certificate issuance, employment, social services, alcohol and cigarette purchases...but not to vote?

The practicalities and imperatives do not match with voter “suppression” accusations. We’re asked for verification every little whipstich. Who DOESN’t need a Social Security number by voting age?

“This year there have been investigations, indictments or convictions for vote fraud in California, Texas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Georgia, North Carolina and Maryland. In all but one case, the alleged fraudsters were Democrats.”


This is a key point that needs to be hammered against those that pull the race card, and other nonsense that they can come up with to twist the root issue...

And those that continue to show political cowardice, in the face of those claims need to be instructed to follow through and get these provisions in place before this next election, at ALL cost!!!

They need to be reminded that they can very easily be replaced, and likely could be, if they do not get this done...

Absolutely, we need voter I.D. to assure we continue to have a government “Of, By and For” the people.

...continue...(???)
Anyone who believes in the integrity of the American electoral system is, at best, naive.

I'm surprised...who was the Republican??

Former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis, who is black, said vote fraud is rampant in African-American districts like his in Alabama.

"The most aggressive contemporary voter suppression in the African-American community is the wholesale manufacture of ballots at the polls and absentee, in parts of the Black Belt," Mr. Davis said.

Mr. Davis...you might become an outcast to the NAACP. god bless you, thou.

Americans support voter ID laws.
Democrats oppose voter ID laws.

Democrats are not Americans.

I had to show a picture ID when I went to Walmart to pick up some toys I’d ordered on-line.

Oh the humanity!

I have been wondering ever since this insanity began how ALL the people who complain about not having ID manage to get on welfare, have checking accounts, cash checks, work, drive, or otherwise exist, let alone make it to a voting booth without identification.

I've heard that in the state of Wisconsin it's harder to rent a video DVD than it is to vote.

Here in Illinois we recently had an elderly Iranian immigrant couple arrested for illegally voting. They aren't citizens but have voted in at least 1 election.
