As for the rest of your question: of course you need an id for most of those things, but you already knew that!
I have a question. If I go in to vote and someone else has already taken my ballot, what then? Obviously, my ID has no bearing since whoever stole my vote didn’t need one. Maybe, I should just vote here, go to West Bend, vote there, go to Hartford, Johnson Creek etc.
If I want to go on an airplane, I have to have a valid ID; if I want to drive a car, same, if I want to write a check, same thing. I am so flippin’ confused! Do people have to have an ID to get state aid? Register for college? Is it because some of those are not rights? OK, then, how about getting married? Since so many consider it a right to be married ie; gays.
I guess I just cannot see the logic in not requiring an ID.

Your mistake is looking for logic. This facilitates Democratic voter fraud, plain and simple. If you failed to believe it, this should help you come to grips with the reality of the situation. I suspect you know it deep down, it's just hard to imagine public officials being so blatantly transparent in their attempts to defraud the sanctity of our electoral process

They know who the dead or moved registered voters are. So they don’t give ballots unless you are certain not to show up. Also, they wait ‘til the end of the day.
I would think that those who are seeking state and/or federal benefit payments of any kind would have to have some kind of photo ID. After Ike destroyed some of my property I applied to FEMA and SBA for a low interest loan to repair my business property. The forms could be sent by mail to an office in Florida which was handling Texas claims but I had to send a copy of my driver’s license, picture ID and a copy of the letter from IRS which contained my business tax ID number. It just seems strange that all government agencies require that you prove who you are for everything but voting. Makes absolutely no sense.
Perfectly logical if your intent is to commit voter fraud.
I can empathize with your situation.
As a retired law enforcement officer, although that has no bearing in my case since I only seek to be treated like any American citizen who is afforded Second Amendment Constitutional rights, I found my recent purchase of a firearm very interesting, especially in view of the passage of the voter ID law in Wisconsin, only to be vacated by a variety of activist judges.
In short, I haven’t purchased a firearm for probably 20 years. When I made the purchase at a local franchised store, I was first asked to show them my photo driver’s license. I was then required to complete 3 forms of information. Apparently, one look at my photo driver’s license didn’t do the job because I was asked to produce my license a second time so a background check could be run, at my expense of course.
The sales clerk then advised me that I could pick up my firearm after 48 hours transpired. I questioned her about the waiting period because the last time I bought a firearm, the waiting period was 3 days. He advised the change was made more than a year ago.
Skip to 3 days after my purchase (I was unable to pick up my firearm after 48 hours because I was out of town) and I approached the same sales clerk who remembered me, but asked to see my photo driver’s license a third time, finalized a document she began when I initially came in to purchase the firearm and then carried the firearm up to the checkout lane where I paid for it.
I know she was following store protocol, but I was tempted to comment that the store policy makes it impossible for a citizen who doesn’t have a photo ID to purchase a firearm, even though none is required for voting purposes.
I am ashamed to admit I was born and raised in Madison, but during my youth and young adulthood, Madison actually had judges who made judgements according to the law rather than basing their decisions on a skewed political agenda.
EODGUY
