From the Irony Department: Union Election Requires Photo ID

Tom Blumer at Newsbusters ran a story yesterday on a Politico report on the approval of the Machinists Union’s contract extension:

On Wednesday, the Politico ran a story about the International Association of Machinists Union at Boeing agreeing to approve a contract extension, the result of which ultimately led to the National Labor Relations Board dropping its controversial decision to prevent the company from beginning to operate a mostly-constructed plant in South Carolina.

Politico ran their story with this photo:

With the liberal media, and the ACLU in full tilt rejection of voter ID requirements that will prevent voter fraud, is it just a bit ironic that Politico, and the rest of the liberal media missed pointing out that a “reputable” union has established the same requirements to protect the integrity of their voting process?

Update: One of Rasmussen’s latest surveys shows 75% Support Showing Photo ID At The Polls

Update 2: Ed’s got a post up on the main page that’s got some good comments and arguments.

My daughter was running around nuts a couple a week ago before going to a high school dance. She needed her student ID to get into the dance.

I’m sure liberal union teachers do not want an ID to vote.

In states with voter id on the ballot this would make a great commercial

If its good enough for the unions its good enough for the rest of us
