Their main claim is that it disenfranchises the poor

Can anyone possibly not smell the BS a mile away? Can anyone possibly expect that no one will?

I think that we should leave the dead people on the voter rolls but with a big D next to the name. (D is for Dead, not Democrat). If somebody shows up to vote for that person, they must prove that they are dead or they are then arrested.

We would have that problem solved in one election.

Moreover, obtaining a photo ID is not expensive. For example, the State of Maine charges $5.00, the State of Pennsylvania charges $13.50, and the State of Michigan provides them for free to senior citizens and to the blind.

Ask these protesters, why, if they are SO upset about the cost/inconvenience to the poor, they do not take some of their substantial donations and provide a bus trip to the nearest station for them. Problem solved.

Oh, wait.

Thus, the Left’s main reason for opposing voter ID laws is an exaggeration.

Not true.

The Left’s main reason for opposing voter ID laws is because to obtain a photo ID you need to provide proof of residency/citizenship and your Social Security number.

They KNOW that this would cut off a huge stream of votes for Dem candidates.

Res ipsa loquitur.

This is an important development … in 2000 the Florida margin in Bush v. ALGORE was only 537 votes

Send Gov Scott an email showing your support

“If the effect of the NVRA (Motor Voter) is to force a state to allow never-eligible non-citizens the opportunity to vote,” he wrote, “then the statute might violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution, which guarantees that the right to vote cannot be denied by a dilution of the weight of a citizen’s vote.”

As for the Voting Rights Act claim, Detzner wrote, Florida already received federal permission to remove noncitizens, which is clearly spelled out in Florida law.

What’s more, the Voting Rights Act applies to only five Florida counties — Monroe, Hillsborough, Collier, Hardee and Hendry — and not the other 62 in Florida, including Miami-Dade, where about 1,600 of the 2,700 potential noncitizens were initially identified by the state in a database created by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.

About 500 people in Miami-Dade have been found to be lawful citizens and voters, and 13 noncitizens have been found. Two of them might have voted and could face prosecution. The county has been unable to verify the citizenship of more than 1,100 others.

Assuming the purge halts, those people could vote this year — even if some are noncitizens.

"Not a single eligible voter as far, as I know, has been removed from the voter rolls," Scott said Wednesday on WNDB radio in Daytona Beach, according to a News Service of Florida transcript. "Not one. And we’re working to keep it that way."

"Their vote should not be diluted by people who don’t have the right to vote," Scott said. "We need to be reviewing our voter rolls and making sure only those individuals who have the right to vote … are voting."

“This hardly seems like an approach earnestly designed to protect the integrity of elections and to ensure that eligible voters have their votes counted,” said the letter, written by Scott’s hand-picked secretary of state, Ken Detzner, a fellow Republican.

Detzner also submitted a list of four questions that he wants the DOJ to answer:

LETTER HERE

it’d be a real shame if liberals in those states went to vote... only to find someone had already voted for them early in the morning (and voted a straight conservative ticket)

maybe then the left would demand id checks

You need id to register to vote. Why is it hard to show it again when you vote?

Once we have laws requiring ID, the RATS will supply fakes. Then we'll need biometrics, or implants.

IMHO, that's the real agenda behind promoting voter fraud.
