SUNBURY — Although state officials estimate that thousands of residents of the Central Susquehanna Valley lack valid identification under the new state Voter ID law, fewer than 60 in three Valley counties have been issued secure identification cards, according to state Department of Transportation spokeswoman Jan McKnight . . .

700,000 statewide? Ain’t no way.
There’s a WHOLE lotta smoke being blown...
Here in South Carolina, not only are the IDs free, but our Governor Nikki Haley even set up a toll free 800 number to be called if you don’t have transportation to the DMV. I don’t remember the exact number, but it got very few calls.
Our law is modeled after Indiana’s which has already withstood a Supreme Court case.
And, guess what, Holder and His People still found our law to be lacking.
“There is information available,” she said. “Please find out if you need to come to the center before you make the trip. You may already have what you need to vote.”
Hardly surprising, this, seeing that in rural counties one pretty much needs a car, and thus a driver’s license — add to that needing photo ID to cash checks or buy really functional decongestants, and pretty much no one needs an ID specially issued to vote.
The new congress and administration should pass a national “social Security” card issue in which Americans have until 2014 to get a new (and free) updated social security card, with a security strip, and a photo. It would take the same info to get one as it takes to get, or renew, drivers licenses in most states, I.e. birth certificate, proof of address, etc.
Those not meeting age requirements to receive SS, would lose benefits for non-compliance.
Then, in order to vote, you would have to present these cards.
All eligible would comply to keep their benefits coming, those that are not, don’t vote.
It smacks of a “nationali.d. Card”, but would be a viable workaround for voter I.d. And we might catch some illegals in the process. We already have to present drivers licenses or two forms if ID to do most everything else anyway.
Those who are eligible, and honest, shouldn’t have any problem with such.
With the mass invasion of illegals we have, it may be the only way to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Maybe that reflects some knowledgeable guy’s info about how many fraudulent votes there we’re in the last election.

People in Indian who do not have Identification can votes with a probitionary ballot. Personally took an individual the day after the election to get her ID. Then we grocery shopped at a larger store then she normally goes to (better prices) and stopped by the court house to trigger her votes.
AND she was a liberal democrat.
There are many who will help if it is truly needed.
UH Indiana
BINGO
People are not going to get multiple identifications.
If Bambi is behind prior to the election, we will need the Guard.
The rest are waiting for the beer and smokes filled limo filled to drive them there.
When dems do voter fraud they vote the people who don't show up to vote. The dead accidentally get caught up in that vote because they NEVER show up to vote.
When the FBI chooses to stop voter fraud they can add fake names to the roles - in inner cities in swing states - and other radom polling places. All they have to do then is check how many of the fake 'voters' voted.
Maybe O'Keefe could set up surveillance cameras outside likly polling fraud centers and count the number of people who vote compared to official tallies.
County totals for those cards were not available.
A veritable stampede of the 'disenfranchised' for those free cards, huh ? !
Did you mean provisional ballot?
Typically provisional ballots only come into play during an extremely close race. And they can usually be challenged.
My major reservations with your suggestion are that, given the gooberment we're saddled with, the bill would come in at 5x projections and be a massive national CF.
You think the faux uproar from the vote fraudsters (aka Dhimms) is bad now, float the idea to revamp the entire thing, making it completely waterproof !
I hear a monthly ad on the radio from a rural county that is saying the commodity give away is upcoming and a photo ID will be required to recieve the cheese and stuff. I guess those ‘poor’ folk don’t have a problem. The same county will NOT provide translaters if one is needed.
I think it has been like that for years now.
Maybe we do ours differently. Granted they do come in play in an extremely close race, but so that no vote is eliminated the vote is counted if proper documentation is presented within ten days. Maybe that's why the SCOTUS smiled on Indiana.
They are kept in the clerk's office. Each in its own separate envelope. When the voter returns with proper identification, it is opened, counted and added to the final tally.
Its a fake issue to start with
