last i heard, Welfare ID was good enough...

[MadJack]

I am a proud Missourian and it doesn't bother me one bit to have to show ID to vote down at the fire station. It's important enough to me to be worth the little effort it takes.
The dung beetle who wrote this editorial has probably never voted in his mediocre life.

Missouri is the latest front in the Republican Party’s campaign to use photo ID requirements to suppress voting.

The GOP should be on this constantly giving examples of vote fraud . Stay on the attack

If voters aren't knowledgeable enough to get the IDs they shouldn't be voting

[afraidfortherepublic]

These arguments against photo ID are pure, unadulterated B--- S---. Tey've been used successfully again and again in Wisconsin to keep us from havingany control whatsoever over who votes, how many times they vote, and whether they are eligible to vote. It is a scandal. Our felonious Dem Governor vetoed a voter ID bill 3 times in the last 4 years. In fact, our voter commission is not even going to abide by Federal law in this matter. It is a scandal.

This asinine report also doesn't include the fact that there is no charge for a Missouri ID. However a birth certificate and social security card is required to get one. There is a charge for that. If the Dimmies in St. Louis and Kansas City were really interested in their constituents, they'd be organizing free transportation for those poor unfortunates that have no way to the DMV. ( yes, I'm being just a wee bit sarcastic!)

Why?

Another question: Why are the voter registers not wiped after each election?

[Question_Assumptions]

Yes, it's the Republican's Evil Plot to suppress illegitimate voting, the bread and butter of urban Democrats everywhere. Heaven forbid Republicans want to make sure that the people who vote are entitled to vote. I bet they'd really scream about voting machines that log votes with timestamps at a central server that could uncover classic gems like hundreds of votes being cast before the polls open or after they close, too.

Let's face it. Requiring legitimate ID WILL surpress a very important part of the dem and leftist voter base. The dead won't be able to vote, and it will keep many dems from being able to vote early and often. After all, when a dem usually votes in different precincts under different names, being forced to get state IDs for each of those identities is quite a hassle.

Missouri’s new ID rules — and similar ones adopted last year in Indiana and Georgia — are intended to deter voting by blacks, poor people and other groups that are less likely to have driver’s licenses.

I think the writer left out children, felons and dead people. Plus this statement isn't true.
