We have to show ID in this country for every damn thing, why should voting be any different? The Dem's scream that it disenfranchises blacks, the elderly and other minorities.To that I say bullshit. These people that the Dem's always throw up as an example fall into a couple of different categories. If they are still working they have ID, either a drivers license or ID card which would have had to be shown to their employer when they first got hired. The elderly have to be on some sort sort of assistance, federal or state. Either that or they would have starved to death long before now. When they applied for help or anytime they had to deal with the agency that is providing assistance they would have had to show ID to prove who they were.
I have to believe that there are really very few people out there without some form of ID, eligible voters I mean, not the bus loads of illegals Dem's try to slip by us now and then. Even then there will always be some who didn't get the message, or fell through the cracks somehow, for them almost every state provides a state issued ID card at no expense, thereby killing the fine or poll tax talking point that Dem's like to use. Mandatory ID is not an unusual request. It doesn't put a burden on anyone and it is not racist. What it does do is it protects our voting system against fraud, and this is what really bothers the left.
