As far back as I can remember, I have shown my DL along with my voter registration card whenever I voted. I do what’s required of EVERYONE. The UN can pound sand. So can the NAACP.
The curious thing here....is every nation in Europe.....requires you by 18 to have a national ID, which you have to show to vote. Almost all of the Middle East countries....require you to have a national ID by age 18, and you need it to vote.
There are only ten nations without a true and mandated national ID: Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Philippines, Norway, the UK, Ireland, Denmark, India, and the US.
So you can imagine the US crew standing there....and almost everyone listening at the meeting...requires an ID by age eighteen...to do anything, from voting to buying booze. The chief country that might have supported your statement? The US. You could have stated this statement back in Detroit or Miami, but instead spent $15k on a couple of guys traveling first-class to Geneva and staying at a fine hotel for a couple of nights.
Other than getting the cooperation of maybe Tonga and the Christmas Islands...there wasn’t much to be gained.
That is what I have been saying to all of these threads with this issue involved. I have always showed my DL when going to vote in Texas. I have alway thought it was a law required to vote.
If you are a U.S. citizen you should be required by law to have a photo ID period. That is a very logical and smart way to end this issue.
The fact that the NAACP is screaming discrimination in this matter is beyond me considering that other nations involved in the UN don’t even allow women to vote period. Where is the outrage there? The NAACP will always find something to sue or complain over.
