Would you be so kind as to explain how ID would have prevented the registration forms from being tossed?
A republican law form conducted a survey of elections from 2000-2010 and found approx 300 cases of voter ID fraud. The number of cases is statistically insignificant. The number of people being disenfranchised by the republicans is far higher. Not to worry, it's only a constitutional right that is being trampled on by the republicans and it is primarily affecting minorities and elderly. No big deal.
Give me a break with that crap.
In the US you need an ID to: drive a car,buy a car,rent a car,cash a check,buy a beer,buy cigerettes,work,collect wellfare,buy a house, rent a house,buy a gun, buy ammo for a gun,use a credit card,go to college,get hunting license,get fishing license,ride a plane, ride a train,withdraw money from a bank,open an account at a bank,enter an airport secure area,get prescription medication,etc etc
The only reason anybody would have to resist the simple requirement that you show proof that you are who you say you are at the voting booth is to open the system up to voter fraud!
By the way, read the other linked story above.
To date in this election we have received 2 "political" calls wanting to know if we are voting this election, where(specific details), and when(specific detail)? Nothing about who.....the only possible reason for that is people fishing for registered voters who might not vote so they can go impersonate them on election day....just as was happening in VA as reported.
I guess to avoid voter fraud we can do like other countries and make you dip your finger in ink when you vote to prevent the same person voting at several locations under different names. If you don't want to make people prove they are who they say they are then fine. Get rid of early voting and we all dip our finger in ink.....no ink on voting day have a vote, already have ink, no more voting. At least if they want to commit voter fraud and vote several times they have to keep spending an hour washing ink off their finger between runs at it. Maybe before long we can tell the fraudsters by the lack of skin on their index finger!
