What Difference Does It Make?

Senator Rand Paul broke with fellow Republicans by saying that the focus on stricter voting laws to crack down on fraud alienates African-Americans and hurts the party.
“Everybody’s gone completely crazy on this voter ID thing,” Mr. Paul said in an interview. “I think it’s wrong for Republicans to go too crazy on this issue because it’s offending people.” ... “The bigger issue actually is whether you get to vote if you have a felony conviction,” he said. “There’s 180,000 people in Kentucky who can’t vote. And I don’t know the racial breakdown, but it’s probably more black than white because they’re convicted felons. And I’m for getting their right to vote back, which is a much bigger deal than showing your driver’s license.” ... Mr. Paul becomes the most prominent member of his party — and among the very few — to distance himself from the voting restrictions and the campaign for their passage in states under Republican control, including North Carolina, Ohio and Wisconsin, that can determine presidential elections. Civil rights groups call the laws a transparent effort to depress black turnout.

Not to mention, I’m pretty sure one needs a government ID to sign up for and receive “benes” (welfare).
Funny how no one seems to have a problem finding an ID for that.
not with my vote
You can say that again.
That's not an easy task for a rational human being...
Wait.
Never mind!
This guy is running for somthing?

Yes, but

I am waiting for the explosion of outrage when the applicants for "free" healthcare "insurance" realize that they are divulging a lot more than an ID application form would. Infinitely more.
Complete incrimination, including the means to pursue fraud, the lifeblood of the parasite grievance industry.
Sadly, it seems that Hillary’s comment is the motto for the current political class. There is zero honor among them.
Not mine either...But he's fishing for that illegal Mexican and former felon vote...
I could live with that. I can NOT live with the degree of fraud that will be enabled by no-ID policies.
Ru Paul is dancing with the ‘Rat party.
How about us people that DO NOT want to see our vote NEUTRALIZED by someone “in the city” that votes 12 times? Do we not count?
We conservatives would have given him a lot of leeway, but with AMNESTY, FELON VOTING RIGHTS, and DEFENDING VOTING FRAUD...I think we’re about through with him, at least on this site.
Them? We? Your comment could not be any more condescending than what you posted.
I don’t think anyone who casts an honest and legitimate vote wants their vote to be de-valued by fraudulent votes, and by extension, is highly unlikely to be offended by attempts to thwart voter fraud.
In other words, the only people we are offending ARE PRECISELY THE PEOPLE WE WANT TO OFFEND.
Senator Paul is talking nonsense.
