Support it?  I don't even know why we're talking about it.  It should of been the only way you get to vote for at least the last fifty years.

The fact that required photo ID is not the norm is the real controversy.

I can.  Anyone that believes their party relies on voter fraud to win will be against voter ID laws.

If it takes having a driver's license to prove that you know how to drive and that you meet certain criteria, it's not a stretch to have a state ID that proves you are legally eligible to vote.

Showing an ID to vote should be a federal law...

Why, I wonder?  Why?  The USSC has already spoken.  Photo ID is perfectly reasonable.  Why is the subject back in any court?

Thats just manufactured outrage though, politics has now adopted the sports fan mentality. Its okay as long as our side does something to win but when the other side does it we scream bloody murder.

The fact that this is even debateble is nuts. We use ID to protect ourselves in every other area. Why not for voting too?

The voting rights act of 1964 say states with a history of discriminatory voting practices can not implement any change affecting voting without first obtaining the approval of the Department of Justice

That act should be declared unconstitutional.

Because buying beer and cigarettes is more imporant to some people than voting.

I've got my voter's ID card tossed in a desk drawer somewhere.

I think.

I didn't think that applied to Pennsylvania.

I do.  I have to show my ID for everything else.  If it's so "racist" to have people show an ID, then why isn't there cries of racism at the liquor stores?
