[CT CONSERVATIVE]

The bill's sponsor, Elections Chair Mary Denny, R-Aubrey, said it is not too much to ask people to prove their identity before voting to preserve the integrity of the election process. DAMN RIGHT

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

Democrats said the bill is meant to deter minorities and elderly people from voting.

Just require the same kinds of identification these folks need to receive basic government services. That'll be a start.

Wild prediction here: if this passes, El Paso, 'the Valley' and Jefferson are "in play" in '06 and '08.

[Little Pig]

I have yet to understand how requiring ID to vote could be "voter suppression and intimidation".

[Republican Red]

Georgia has the same law now, just signed by Sonny Purdue. The black legislators went into crazed behavior in fighting the legislation. They even walked out of a session in unison because they called the law "racist". Purdue signed it anyway.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution/Gallup did a poll about it and lo and behold 80% of Georgians support showing id to vote.

Wow! The 'RATS have all the BS talking points down pat:

• ..... Democrats said the bill is meant to deter minorities and elderly people from voting.

• "It's not about fraud. It's about voter suppression and intimidation," Coleman said.

• Rep. Senfronia Thompson, D-Houston, said the measure is more about promoting a political agenda than eliminating voter fraud.

"It's not about fraud. It's about voter suppression and intimidation," Coleman said.

Garnett knows about intimidation. Just ask his kid's principal.

Police hauled state Representative Garnet Coleman to jail last week on misdemeanor assault charges filed by a Montessori school principal. Just three days before that, a contact called The Insider to complain that the legislator was out of control. Coleman, explained the source, had put himself on the board of the Midtown Reinvestment Zone in July and was using his clout as an elected official to intimidate members.

My mother, age 82, quit driving and gave up her driver's license. She immediately went to the Secretary of State's office and got an official PICTURE ID card to replace it. I don't know of any states that don't have this provision.

"We did not hear one shred of evidence that there is voter fraud in this state," Anchia said. "If this was a court of law, this case would be thrown out for lack of evidence."

It seems Rep. Anchia isn't aware of which branch of government he is in. Rep. Anchia, you are in the LEGISLATURE. It is your responsibility to write laws, not try legal cases.
