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.

OK so how about BLM Brown shirts go to the banks and empty all of Carter's bank accounts without showing any id's?

Voter suppression......a word that’s been bandied around for years to get sympathy for those who like to cheat so they have to put race and suppression in everything they do. I grew up in Jim Crow......voter suppression was REAL back then. They could kill you at will, they charged a poll tax on you......lots of voter suppression in real time. There’s not a person in this country since the Civil Rights Act that cannot vote, that anyone that’s an American citizen has that right. But like the left does so well, they have to put it in a dark light (no pun intended) for those who have been OPPRESSED by the Demonrats for generations to think old white Republicans are gonna keep them down and not let them vote. That’s what we have to fight every day.......

In Canadian elections you need government issue photo ID and your name and address on the voter list or you don’t vote.
