If you oppose voter ID, watch this.

Everyone is issued a SS #
Why can't everyone get issued an ID card? Make it mandatory for high school seniors. Even issue them and have photos taken at school.
Also, have updated photos and cards available at the DMV offices.
And since Democrats love big government, even add specific voter ID offices throughout the country.
Put thousand more people to work.

It's a win-win for everyone (except the lying cheating Democrat machine that encourages voter fraud )

There was a bipartisan commission led by James Baker and Jimmy Carter that recommended creating a national voter ID card. Of course, democrats rejected it because it would hinder voter fraud.

In many cases I get the argument that democrats are trying to make, but I don't agree with them.

In the case of voter ID laws, I simply dont get the argument at all. They claim it is racist. This argument makes no sense whatsoever.

You don't get it because you are looking for a rational argument. Like with immigration, there is no rational argument, other than this helps them win elections so they are going to push it and send a message to all party hacks, eg federal judges, that they better fall into line.

Our state (and others) had "voter id" laws which curtailed early voting, eliminated motor voter, moved voting precincts away from universities & minority neighborhoods, did not let those age 17 pre-register to vote, and a lengthy list of other items making it difficult to vote.

So if one state never had such things as early voting, no problem. But if another state foolishly passes such a law, then sees it facilitates vote fraud, they can never repeal it? Other than being a clear example of judicial overreach, it seems to me to impede the sort of bipartisan compromise reformers claim to want. In reality, they want a one way ratchet. Once a progressive goal has been obtained, it can never be relinquished and the courts will see to that.

The message is clear. Do not compromise one inch.

if voter fraud were anything more than a Minuscule problem,
i would be concerned, but it's simply a very very small problem...

in the 2000 election, Bush won partly/possibly
because activist republicans, got in the way wherever they could, to influence the situation. They simply did not sit around and hope for the best...
