Will you be glad to show ID when you vote?

"I haven't heard any say Obama did not win fair and square in '08."


you must not read many of the posts by the SH idiot conservatives.


they think a lot of dead people are voting and people are voting twice in major elections.

leave it to a left winger to invent conspiracy theories.

I never said he did not win in 08 I have said he is incompetent many times in the last three years. the brain dead idiot from Chicago is obviously an overweight retard.living in his mothers basement.

What makes you morons think it was fair and square? Ohio, one of the swing states he had to have, the democrat sec of state admitted, that 20% of the voters were from illegals or the dead, not fair and fair by any means. In Penn, they had documented incidents of the new black panthers running whites from the polls, not fair. In Florida, it is estimated that close to 15% of the snowbird Yankees that infest and contaminate the state vote both in their home states and in Florida, hardly fair. Acorn went to the nursing home my grandmother lived in, and voted for her, even though she was so out of it, she didn't even recognize her own children anymore, hardly fair.

you're a moron. can you show any good, conclusive evidence of any of this drivel you said, delusional conservatard? no. So, go ramble and rave like a schizophrenic idiot somewhere else.

Yes, I have to show ID for just about everything else, what's the big deal?

No problem. I now have to show my passport to get on an airplane; enter the US; cash a check; buy a beer at a baseball game; show my driver's license when stopped.

I would go further and issue national ID cards for voting and verification of immigration status.

I Live In OHIO , and have " ALWAYS " had to show my ID to vote !
WTF is it with Liberal / Socialist Democraps ? EVERY STATE IN THE UNION should have " PROOF " of who you are , at any time !

You want to know what is really sad? I too live in Ohio. Both of my sons registered to vote for the first time over the past 6 years. (one 6 years ago the other 3 years ago) Neither was asked for ID when they registered. Additionally we are never ID'd at the polls. Yet in Ohio (look on the website) ID is supposed to be required to both register and vote. I don't know if there is any fraud but I am absolutely sure there is plenty of opportunity for it to happen.

Your " Board of Elections " should be notified about this . Better yet , call your representitive . Sometimes it is Up To Us , the citizen , to make things right .

They have been, we were assured the problem would be addressed.

Good for you . The public has to get involved .

I have to assume that anyone opposed to showing a valid ID at the voting booth is only interested in promoting voter fraud!

YOU would be Correct , Sir !

VOTOR FRAUD is the only intended reason ( goal ) to be against Voter I.D.

You got that right!!!!

I already do and in Illinois of all places. We show our State i.d./license AND our voter's registration and during primary time, we announce our party. I like that! hehehe!

You could use a few better choices.

I have a photo ID, a driver license, which I purchased for driving. I did not buy it for voting. Requiring anyone to purchase anything that allows them to vote is like the poll taxes of the Jim Crow era, and is specifically forbidden by the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

Do you know of a place like that? Will they provide free transportation for those who don't drive or own cars? Will they reimburse those who do for their gasoline? Anything that requires cost to the voter is akin to a poll tax and is therefore illegal.

Since Your drivers license is required to drive any cost is attributed to that; so if You use it for ID there is no cost to You additional. Those that do not have a drivers license can receive a state ID card at no cost to them and use it for ID. Your rant is baseless.

Is it? Again I ask, do you know where free photo ID's are issued? The law is really simple. No expense to voters may be mandated for the right to exercise their franchise. This includes the cost of the ID, the expenses of transportation, anything that would require him or her to pay for the right to vote.

Here is one example:
If you have questions, need more information or have difficulty getting a FREE Voter Identification Card, you can contact your county registrar’s office or the Secretary of State’s Elections Division at:

I would think that someone as knowledgeable as You on the subject would know that ID is supplied at no cost and the state will even go to the applicants home. You, I'm sure. can handle the remainder of the research Yourself.

Is that how it is in West Virginia or Georgia? I live in Texas, where such services are unknown.

Here You go:

P.S. Yes the Texas ID is free....

I see nothing about the ID itself being free. They would still have to purchase something in order to vote, and that is illegal.

It is fine if they have an ID for other porposes, but requiring someone to purchase something in order to vote is illegal.

We are not discussing welfare, food stamps or any other kind of entitlement. We are discussing voting, the most basic right we have as citizens. People are trying to take that right away, and the Constitution will not accept it.

"Guaranteeing that the person voting is the one who is supposed to be voting is as important a check as the right itself."

It's not the way that the Obama's supporters see it.
They count heavily on voter fraud.

Of course.

Really? How so?

The two are entirely separate. Voting is the most basic right in any democracy, and the laws are clear on what is and is not required in order to exercise one's franchise. No purchase of any kind can be required in order to vote.

Remember this?

In 1996, Obama was elected to the Illinois State Senate from the south side neighborhood of Hyde Park, in Chicago's 13th District. An element of controversy surrounded the election, due to Obama's legal challenges to the petition signatures of all 4 opponents in the race, resulting in their subsequent disqualification. Incumbent, Alice Palmer, following an unsuccessful bid at Congress, chose to defend her Illinois Senate seat despite having less than 2 days to gather the required petition signatures to run. Her campaign asked Obama, who she had previously supported, to step down. Not only did he not do so, he challenged the petition signatures of her and the other 3 candidates in the race, managing to disqualify enough to ensure he could run unopposed on the ballot. Grounds for dismissal of signatures included signatures printed but not signed, valid but collected by someone underage, and valid for the 1995 polling sheets but not the more recent 1996 ones.
