Last Mexican election, one of the Spanish-language channels showed the process. To vote, the citizen had to show the gov’t issued ID. It was matched against the registered-voters list, which also had the person’s photo. After voting, I believe the voter’s thumb was marked with ink. Somehow, the Mexicans in Mexico are able to get photo ID. For Mexican-Americans (as well as Blacks, the poor, other minorities) it is an insurmountable burden to get a photo ID.

As a side note, my granddaughter is a dual citizen of the U.S. and Costa Rica. When she turned 18 she got her C.R. Government photo ID voters card. Costa Rica is not nearly as prosperous as Mexico, yet they too can somehow get photo ID to all their citizens.

So what is it really saying about the poor, elderly and minority groups of our nation, that it is just too hard for them to get a photo ID?

Try getting a process like that in the US. The lefties would become enraged.

Have a look at what is on a Mexican voter identification card. A friend showed me his. This is what I remember:

1) Picture, name, address, usual stuff
2) Thumb print
3) Magnetic Strip
4) Signature
5) Hologram

If Mexican elections are legitimate, then Mexicans are more
screwed up than I thought. No wonder the Obama loves them,
they are the perfect morons for the democrat base.
