74% of Americans Support Voter ID Laws

One of the left's sillier temper tantrums is the fight against Voter ID laws. The law simply requires that a voter present a photo ID at the polling place, as a means to verify they are who they say they are. It is almost impossible to navigate daily life without a photo ID, yet the left argues that this burden is uniquely onerous. In their worldview, a person should be able to walk into the voting place, state a name and then vote without any verification the person is, in fact, that name. Fortunately, the American people loudly disagree.
Yesterday, the Washington Post released a poll which found that 74% of American adults support the idea that voters should show a photo ID prior to voting. Keep in mind, the Post tried to game the results by framing the question as to whether you would support the requirement of an "official, government-issued" ID to vote. The intent of that questioning was to make the requirement seem like some special, extraordinary measure that would make voting harder.
The American public isn't buying it.
The left has hitched its wagon to a number of rapidly falling stars. Voter ID requirements is just the most rapidly falling one.

So, let's ask ourselves one more time. Why would the GOP fight tooth and nail to make sure those that may not have a certain ID jump through hoops to vote in the United States?
Why indeed...

Claiming they steal elections and commit massive election fraud because some of the registrants signed Micky Mouse for the $1 a signature these poor people were getting (and almost always found and reported by ACORN first), is hilarious. Mickey would not be able to vote anyway. Read the list in your fist link. It is hungry idiots searching for $1 payouts. They weren't trying to actually get people in the voting booth.
Now, show me how many instances of actual election fraud you can find, and then tell me how much you think we need to spend on it, or how much we need to curb some people from voting in America to "cure" this non-issue.
1. The laws in place, well before Voter ID, catch virtually ALL attempts at fraud, right now. There is simply no denying it.

2. This is the nail in the coffin. Find me the evidence, that NO one else has been able to find, of actual voter fraud that ID cards would stop. The vast majority of voter fraud, as anemic as it is, occurs through mail in votes... something an ID will not stop, and something everyone trying make these laws does not argue. In person voter fraud, when considering 140 million people may vote, is virtually non-existent in this coun...

Stop trying to claim it is something other than what it really is. Xenophobic freedom hating fear, or outright wishing to curb Democratic voters.. if even only 1-2%.
That pretty much sums up why I'm not going to waste any time trying to have a worthwhile discussion with you as it would be an exercise in futility on my part. And I make this statement based on such a ridiculous assumption on your part. Charges are not filed and convictions are not levied unless there is proof of the crime. *double sigh* Goodbye.

If you choose not to argue the facts in my last post, fine with me. I understand.
