Remarkably, the concept of voter ID that was widely embraced just 16 years ago by a bipartisan election commission chaired by former President Jimmy Carter has now become the leading symbol of what Democrats allege are Republican voter suppression tactics, even though most Americans need an ID for flying, buying beer or taking the SATs. (Carter himself now says the Georgia voter ID requirement makes him "saddened and angry.")

"Photo IDs currently are needed to board a plane, enter federal buildings, and cash a check," the Commission on Federal Election Reform declared in 2005. "Voting is equally important."

Georgia's GOP-controlled state government rejected the notion that asking for an ID for a ballot was somehow inflammatory or suppressive. In fact, it thought it was a good solution to all the angst over the 2020 election processes.

But you still need an id to buy your booze.

The 2nd Amendment confirms my right to keep and bear arms. Yet I have to to show a photo ID *and* be fingerprinted before I can buy one.

Demonrats are NOTHING BUT LIARS

EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM!!!!!!

[JohnBrowdie]

this is where the tsunami of near proof of voting abuses would come in very handy.

this argument is easily winnable if it’s honest.

Are ID requirements for Covid vaccines a racist attempt to keep Covid vaccines away from African Americans?

[lurk]

If you need ID for alcohol, pharmaceuticals, DMV, doctor’s office, drivers license, school enrollment, high rise entry, you can produce ID to vote.

This is a fight that has to be fought Kristi Noem needs to learn a lesson we can’t defeat the communism taking over the country unless we prepared to fight

[JoSixChip]

This is insanity. Why do you even have to give your name to vote? I mean what is the purpose if you don’t need an ID?

[alternatives?]

Why don’t they say it is between stolen elections or Jim Crow?

[FlingWingFlyer]

If asking to see an I.D. to vote is “voter suppression”, asking to see an I.D. to buy a gun, buy cigarettes, buy booze and drive a car IS ALSO “VOTER SUPRESSION”. Don’t do drugs!

Oh Lauzie yall dun gotz Aunt Jemima’s undies in a wad an she gonna pitch a hissie fit.

[Rummyfan]

I’m sixty-three years old and i need to show ID to buy a pack of cigarettes. How can it be racist to require an ID for one of our most precious rights, that of voting?!

[SaxxonWoods]

“Are ID requirements a voter suppression tactic or a responsible security measure?”

Ask the 140-ish countries that require it. Which includes all of Europe.

[cdcdawg]

Fighting out of the blue corner, we have Stacey Abrams and Raphael Warnock: two committed Marxist ideologues who will stop at nothing to get their way.

“Fighting” out of the red corner, we have the Georgia GOP (a/k/a “a bunch of wussies”).

Great.

[fruser1]

If ID not required, then absolve me of ID requirements for driving, the bank, boarding flights....

[dynachrome]

Are they implying that minorities are too stupid to get ID?

[Seruzawa]

Oh please. Everyone knows exactly what it is. The RATs seek permanent totalitarian control of every aspect of life.

[NohSpinZone]

There is zero logic in calling the use of free government ID as a requirement to vote racist. The commies know this better than anyone. It's pathetic that we have such a corrupt media and too many know-nothing morons in our voters pool who'd even give this insane theory any credence. Don't take my word for it. Listen to this guy.

I don’t see any need for the voter registration offices to be open on a Saturday and zero need as to Sundays. Most towns and villages across America have their offices closed on both days and it would be a big overtime expense to have the clerk’s office open, especially as the registrations ramp up about 2 months prior to the election dates.
