    You mean by asking voters to prove they are legitimate U. S. citizens . NO! Even in states that stated they would pay for all voters to get I.D. freely, they were denied the right to keep voting legal . I think you might be confused and think any person should be allowed to vote . That is not the case.

    You all do realize that the state that took its case all the way to the supreme court did not have even one case of voter fraud. This is being done to keep voters from voting.it targets the young and elderly and very poor. Republicans are scum to even allow this.They think that keeping hundreds of thousands of voters from voting is the key to winning even if they deny American citizens their right to vote.

    A better question any citizen should ask is why the President abused Executive Powers to Buy Votes? It's Transparent he Profiled a specific group and issued an Executive order to buy that groups Vote!

    Redistricting, clearing out voter registrations, changing voting requirement laws, they are all designed to keep the people most likely to vote Democrat at home on election day.

    I don't see the problem in removing those who should NOT be voting from all lists. I have read that there could be has many as 4 million dead people still on the voter rolls.
    One solution that could be done is to throw out all voter lists and start over. Allowing only live legal US residents to register to vote in 90 days.

    Conservative can't see the facts truth or reality, so why would anyone expect you to see the problem?

    Voter fraud is the excuse given by the Grand OBSTRUCTION Party for the requirement of Photo ID, but every citizen who signs up to vote must provide ID,and their signatures are on file The statistic in almost every state is that the supposed voter fraud is so small as to be almost nonexistent. and it is being done to disenfranchise certain groups of Democratic voters from their Constitutional right to vote. Moreover, it is being done just before the 2012 election.

    We have all read anecdotal cases in every state of people who have voted for years and are now barred -- not because they aren't eligible but because they don't have the proper photo ID. Who are these people? According to a 2006 survey by the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law, individuals who do not have government issued photo identification include:

    ** 11% of voting-age population, or as many as 21 million people.
    ** 18% percent of Americans over 65.
    ** 25% of African Americans.
    ** 15% of low-income voters

    It is obvious that ID requirements would disproportionately affect the elderly, the young, the poor, and racial and ethnic minorities. At the federal level, only 24 people were convicte...

    It is obvious that ID requirements would disproportionately affect the elderly, the young, the poor, and racial and ethnic minorities. At the federal level, only 24 people were convicted of voter fraud between 2002 and 2005. At this rate, Americans are twice as likely to be hit by lightening as to have their vote canceled out by a fraudulent cast vote. The Grand OBSTRUCTION Party is purposefully taking U.S. citizen's Constitutional right to vote and have a voice in their own country. Almost all of those voters vote Democrat, and they have done this right before the 2012 election. Just how far down in the slime will the GOP go to steal the 2012 election?

    THIS COUNTRY HAS NEVER REQUIRED VOTERS TO HAVE VOTER ID CARDS BEFORE EXCEPT DURING THE DAYS OF SLAVERY WHEN JIM CROW LAWS REQUIRED POLE TAXES, TESTS, AND ANYTHING ELSE THEY COULD THINK UP TO DISENFRANCHISE PEOPLE FOR POLITICAL GAIN. You keep talking about the Constitution, and the Amendments to the Constitution gave all citizens in this country the right to vote, and now the GOP is inventing voter Fraud to take those same voting rights away with the ploy of voter fraud all to take democrats off the voting rolls to try and win the 2012 election through fraud and deceit. You can't even come up with the number of voter fraud convictions in what states to support your conspiracy theory. Your finding that facts for your lies are impossible to find aren't you half-wit? All all the rest of your crap ia just your attempt to justify something that does not exist (FRAUD) and you can't prove. If you could prove voter Fraud you would have, but all you can come up with you Gaping Primate is excuses.

    It's "a made-up problem invented by GOP operatives," Robert Koehler, a self-termed "peace journalist," snickered in the Jan. 5 Huffington Post.

    Regarding ballot hijinks, Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz chuckled: "There is almost none."

    But recent news is not so funny. One probe caught on tape how easily anybody can vote on behalf of dead Americans. Elsewhere, the total ballots cast by the dead exceeded the winning margins in several high-profile elections.

    These cases confirm the urgent need for all voters to prove they are alive and to correctly identify themselves via photo ID — just as Americans do on non-election days.

    James O'Keefe, the conservative video journalist whose hidden-camera sting operation doomed the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), struck again during the New Hampshire primary.

    O'Keefe's organization, Project Veritas, dispatched three videographers to the Granite State. On Jan. 10, they visited precincts in Manchester and Nashua and asked poll workers, one by one, if their voter rolls bore the names of several deceased people.

    Believing that O'Keefe's collaborators were those registered, the poll workers handed out 10 ballots, never once asking for a photo ID.

    It's "a made-up problem invented by GOP operatives," Robert Koehler, a self-termed "peace journalist," snickered in the Jan. 5 Huffington Post.

    But recent news is not so funny. One probe caught on tape how easily anybody can vote on behalf of dead Americans. Elsewhere, the total ballots cast by the dead exceeded the winning margins in several high-profile elections.

    These cases confirm the urgent need for all voters to prove they are alive and to correctly identify themselves via photo ID — just as Americans do on non-election days.

    James O'Keefe, the conservative video journalist whose hidden-camera sting operation doomed the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), struck again during the New Hampshire primary.

    O'Keefe's organization, Project Veritas, dispatched three videographers to the Granite State. On Jan. 10, they visited precincts in Manchester and Nashua and asked poll workers, one by one, if their voter rolls bore the names of several deceased people.

    Believing that O'Keefe's collaborators were those registered, the poll workers handed out 10 ballots, never once asking for a photo ID.

    "Live Free or Die," a poll worker reassured one investigator she thought was Reynold Caron, who died Oct. 14, 2011. "This is New Hampshire. No ID needed."

    O'Keefe's men immediately gave back each ballot and insisted that they wanted to leave each precinct and return with a photo ID, although none was required. O'Keefe's team members never cast these ballots.

    They returned them, unmarked, to precinct workers. All of this is available on videotape at ProjectVeritas.com.

    New Hampshire Democrats seem unconcerned that their voter rolls contain the names of dead people and, absent ID rules, fraudsters conveniently could vote the ballots of the expired. Instead, Democrats want to indict these whistleblowers.

    "They should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, if in fact they're found guilty of some criminal act," Democratic Gov. John Lynch told WMUR-TV.

    Republicans, however, consider this deadly serious.

    "Despite the governor's veto of the photo ID bill last year, the House will begin again this year to restore confidence in our elections by passing legislation to require a photo ID," its speaker, Republican William O'Brien, said Jan. 13.

    Following Project Veritas' revelations, Granite State legislators recently began debating two photo ID bills.

    Meanwhile, South Carolina's attorney general, Alan Wilson, informed the U.S. Justice Department on Jan. 19 that 953 ballots had been cast by dead voters in recent Palmetto State elections.

    Democrats can giggle, but 953 is a potentially game-changing number of votes.

    Recall that Willard Mitt Romney originally won the Iowa caucuses by just eight votes, only to have a closer count reveal that Rick Santorum actually prevailed by 34 votes.

    After an indecisive November 2008 election, Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., eventually won a final recount in which he defeated GOP incumbent Norm Coleman by 312 votes.

    And 537 ballots gave George W. Bush Florida's electoral votes and, consequently, the White House in 2000.

    Thus, 953 haunted ballots could have reversed any of these races. Perhaps they did.

    The easiest way to disenfranchise the dead is to require every voter to show photo ID. Those who lack identification should get it for free. Reasonable accommodations can be made for the infirm.

    Let's not hear liberals' scratched record about how mandating a photo ID for voters is step one on the road to lynching. If true, then demanding a photo ID at America's airports would make the TSA equivalent to the KKK.

    Liberals' oft-cited claim that blacks are too befuddled to possess or acquire photo ID is pure racial profiling. Just how lame do they think black Americans really are?

    ID cards would help cleanse America's increasingly soiled voting system. Photo IDs also would allow dead people to rest in peace rather than rush to the polls every Election Day.

    "Remember: demographic trends do not favor the Republican Party. As the Center for the Study of the American Electorate (CSAE) observed in 2008 report, the GOP is either out of contention or are seeing an erosion of support in New England, the mid-Atlantic, the West, the mountain states, the Industrial Midwest, and even part of the South. With its growing Latino population, even Texas may be lost to the Party before too many years. Within the next few decades white Americans, the only demographic subgroup from which the GOP draws significant numbers of voters, will be the minority.

    So while the party posits these laws as a way of fighting supposed voter fraud -- nearly a nonexistent problem -- it takes little imagination to divine a more sinister intent. Sometimes it is so obvious you don't need an imagination at all. As in Michigan GOP lawmaker John Pappageorge's 2004 observation that his party needed to suppress the Detroit vote to have any hope of electoral success. Detroit is 82% black. Then there is the GOP campaign guru in Maryland who was convicted of ordering Election Day robo calls to black households telling them not to bother voting because Obama had he election sewn up. And let us not forget Pennsylvania Republican Mike Turzai, who gently crowed how the state's voter ID laws would ensure victory for Mitt Romney.

    Sorry, but there can be little doubt that suppression- not just the black vote, by the way, but also youth, and Hispanic votes -- is a key goal of the attempt to shrink he votes for the Democrat party" Your history of fraud and fraudulent tactics is the cornerstone of the Republican party's tactics, But since you want to run this scam or con-game of suppressing people's votes, have I got a plan for you. If voter fraud is real and you still can't provide the facts to prove it, here is your solution.

    "What if instead of suppressing a citizen's Constitutional rights to vote, we broaden the electorate? Curtis Gans. director of the aforementioned CSAE, believes the United States should adopt Mexico's ' system. wherein the government automatically issues every citizen a biometric ID card? Such a card, encoded with your personal information -- and with safeguards to protect your piracy -- would eliminate your unfounded fear of voter fraud whatever little there is. There would be no fraud because there would be no registration. Every eligible citizen would simply swiped their card and vote. And the GOP would then have to make its case before America in the fullness of its diversity, an electorate not being whittled down by artificial barriers and fraud and giving an advantage to the Republican Party as is being done now.

    Voter fraud is the excuse given by the Grand OBSTRUCTION Party for the requirement of Photo ID, but every citizen who signs up to vote must provide ID,and their signatures are on file The statistic in almost every state is that the supposed voter fraud is so small as to be almost nonexistent. and it is being done to disenfranchise certain groups of Democratic voters from their Constitutional right to vote. Moreover, it is being done just before the 2012 election.

    We have all read anecdotal cases in every state of people who have voted for years and are now barred -- not because they aren't eligible but because they don't have the proper photo ID. Who are these people? According to a 2006 survey by the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law, individuals who do not have governmen...














    then prove they are BS half-wit. Gee how did we get along befor you cretins created your lying conspiracy theories of voter /Fraud. I have not seen one of you half-wits who have been able to provide one fact that voter fraud is a problem in this country. If you so damn worried Buuba Monkey, why is it you won't answer my solution to this supposed voter fraud and stop tying to win the 2012 election through cheating and fraud??????

    ** 25% of African Americans.
    ** 15% of low-income voters

    It is obvious that ID requirements would disproportionately affect the elderly, the young, the poor, and racial and ethnic minorities. At the federal level, only 24 people were convicted of voter fraud between 2002 and 2005. At this rate, Americans are twice as likely to be hit by lightening as to have their vote canceled out by a fraudulent cast vote. The Grand OBSTRUCTION Party is purposefully taking U.S. citizen's Constitutional right to vote and have a voice in their own country.

With its growing Latino population, even Texas may be lost to the Party before too many years.

Then there is the GOP campaign guru in Maryland who was convicted of ordering Election Day robo calls to black households telling them not to bother voting because Obama had the election sewn up. And let us not forget Pennsylvania Republican Mike Turzai, who gently crowed how the state's voter ID laws would ensure victory for Mitt Romney.

    Sorry, but there can be little doubt that suppression- not just the black vote, by the way, but also youth, and Hispanic votes -- is a key goal of the attempt to shrink the votes for the Democrat party" Your party's history of fraud and fraudulent tactics is the cornerstone of the Republican party's tactics, But since you want to run this scam or con-game of suppressing people's votes, have I got a plan for you. If voter fraud is real and you still can't provide the facts to prove it, here is your solution.

    "What if instead of suppressing a citizen's Constitutional rights to vote, we broaden the electorate? Curtis Gans. director of the aforementioned CSAE, believes the United States should adopt Mexico's ' system. wherein the government automatically issues every citizen a biometric ID card?

There would be no fraud because there would be no registration. Every eligible citizen would simply swiped their card and vote.

    It is 4 months until the election, surely you do not believe that all the percentages you posted are too stupid, or too lazy, or too confused to get a free ID?? Get a grip - if they are too stupid, lazy or confused as you seem to think they are, perhaps voting will be too difficult.

When I voted at the precinct, I signed my signature so they could match it up with my signature on file before I could vote. I voted this way for over 50 years with never a problem

That is where I gained more credit and credit cards as my credit worthiness was established.

    I never had to show my birth certificate for any of those things. I also signed up for a Social Security card without showing my birth certificate. As a young man I either was drafted or joined the military branch of my choice. I volunteered to join the branch of my choice and served my country in one of our nations wars war for over 6 years. I never had to show my birth certificate for doing that either. I have donated blood before and nobody asked for my birth certificate, drivers license, or Photo ID.

    We are in a near- depression created by your party, and millions of our citizens have lost their homes, jobs, retirements, and life
    savings, and no money to access some of the missing documents required to get this new photo ID. 50 million of our citizens couldn't even get or qualify for basic health care because of preexisting conditions and the expense to obtain basic health care. Many of the elderly are in nursing homes or no longer drive, and most of the disabled do not have transportation or money to obtain all of the documents required to get the photo ID. College students use to be able to use their student IDs to vote, and many of them go to college out of state andw ill vote via an absentee ballot, so why do they need a photo ID? My state now votes entirely by mail, so why do I need one of these new Photo IDs to vote? I must put my signature on the outside of the envelope that I send my ballot in so that it can be matched against my signature on file. If I do not sign, then my vote won't count. Our military in foreign wars and countries vote by absentee ballots, so what good are photo IDs for them, and who do they show it to -- the mailman? This is the most hypocritical piece of crap excuse for stealing an election ever perpetrated on the American citizens, and your nuts if you think anybody but a Republican is buying it. the unemployment rate (25%) for young black youth and many minorities are the ones who do not have access to birth certificates or the other documents to obtain this new photo ID.

    It is just 4 months until the election, and it took me over 2 to 3 months just to get a certified copy of my birth certificate in order to get a passport to take a cruise.

    Funny thing is, the Republicans claim that this is all about voter Fraud, and yet, not one damn one of you can show a fact that voter fraud is a major problem in the U.S. It only became a problem when our first Black African American citizen became the President. If voter ID is such a problem, why didn't the Republicans try to fix it before, like four months before a Republican incumbent was up for reelection?

    It is obvious that ID requirements would disproportionately affect the elderly, the young, the poor, and racial and ethnic minorities. At the federal level, only 24 people were convicted of voter fraud between 2002 and 2005. At this rate, Americans are twice as likely to be hit by lightening as to have their vote canceled out by a fraudulent cast vote.

Your bullsh*t is the conservative's art of trying to make the idiotic sound sensible! what your party is trying to do is the most unAmerican ever perpitrated on the citizens of this country, and is also a violation of the Constitution that you claim to follow with such zeal. This is just another conspiracy theory like Obama's birth certificate, and the attack on Obama's health Care Reform. Your hypocritical comments about all of the places where you need Photo ID is just another one of your conspiracy theories, and its is pretty low in the slime of the gutter for the lies your now using to steal the election.

    Conservatives are all fundamentalists with a top dressing of chaos and destruction. That is why they are the stupidest of Conservatives, T-Boogers, and reactionaries in politics and the most bigoted of obstructionists and domestic terrorists. When it comes to getting their hate on they are all of the same opinion: stop it, lie about it, distort it, obstruct it, flog it, dynamite it, and stamp the truth right out of it.

    Republicans are afraid of the world, are a party of the resentful and are fear mongers. It makes one wonder if we will even be able to have a voice or be able to participate in our own country.

    For two, you'd have to point to there being proof that those people ACTUALLY DID VOTE. Again, you can't prove that.

    All you have is 180k names that didn't match an outdated listing.

    I know you're all gung ho about people casting invalid votes but don't seem to care about illegally wiping people's names from the voting record in such a sloppy way, just to get it done before the next election.

    So, you don't want anyone voting that shouldn't be, but don't mind people being denied their voting rights unfairly, because they might be Democrats. Very sound argument you've got there. Walk that one around and see if gets legs for anyone but the right.

    Sorry, but there can be little doubt that suppression- not just the black vote, by the way, but also youth, and Hispanic votes -- is a key goal of the attempt to shrink the votes for the Democrat party" Your party's history of fraud and fraudulent tactics is the cornerstone of the Republican party's tactics, But since you want to run this scam or con-game of suppressing people's votes, have I got a plan for you. If voter fraud is real and you still can't provide the facts to prove it, here is your solution.

    "What if instead of suppressing a citizen's Constitutional rights to vote, we broaden the electorate? Curtis Gans. director of the aforementioned CSAE, believes the United States should adopt Mexico's ' system. wherein the government automatically issues every citizen a biometric ID card? Such a card, encoded with your personal information -- and with safeguards to protect your piracy -- would eliminate your unfounded fear of voter fraud whatever little there is. There would be no fraud because there would be no registration. Every eligible citizen would simply swiped their card and vote. And the GOP would then have to make its case before America in the fullness of its diversity, an electorate not being whittled down by artificial barriers and fraud and giving an advantage to the Republican Party as is being done now. SURELY THAT''S SOMETHING YOUR PARTY WOULD WANT, RIGHT????

    Fraud and falsehood only dread examination. Truth invites it.

    What is more frightening than any particular policy or ideology is the widespread habit of conservatives disregarding facts.

    One can observe the real Conservative agenda just by watching what the do. You can then orget what they say.

    People who think like a conservative cannot even conceptualize truth.
