High Court Poised For Voter ID Case

[Calvin Locke]

Homeless people wanting to vote might face the most difficulty under the law.

More like social "workers" embezzling the votes of bums will have a more difficult time doing so.

I’ll still be damned if I ever have to show my ID to anyone to prove I’m a citizen and that I am eligible to vote.

Then, go into the polling place of your choice and tell them you have a right to vote in this upcoming Presidential election, by God, and see how far that takes you!

(Hint: you have no "right" to vote in Federal elections whatsoever. See the Constitution of the United States of America for details)

In reality, very few leftist arguments can be taken at face value,

because, if their true agenda were revealed, no one would support them.

This issue is about the Democrats’ ability to continue to commit vote fraud. There is no other reason to disallow the verification of eligibility of the voter.

To put them in their place on this issue, offer to have the federal election commission supply photo voter id cards to those who say they can’t afford one.

“Interestingly, my FEDERALLY ISSUED pilot’s license couldn’t be
used as a valid ID. “

That’s pretty amazing.
I don’t know how it is in TN, but my younger (and usually) smarter
brother didn’t renew his driver’s license in time.
MO is already pretty strict on issuing licenses; he spent the next
couple of weeks getting his birth certificate from Oklahoma,
an affadavit from his wife supporting his identity was involved somewhere
in this mess...
and I and my Mom ended up driving him around for about a week before
we could drive him out to get his new license.

At least in MO, illegals aren’t getting much love with Rep. Governor Blunt
and Jay “Me Too” Nixon putting out more proposed laws to encourage
illegals to avoid MO or self-deport to sanctuary cities like
LA or New Haven, CT.

And yet we are to believe that a fee of generally under $100 for a state id/license is a poll tax?

$100? More like $free.

IIRC Georgia offered free ID + TRANSPORT to obtain it.

[Nevermore]

And yet we are to believe that a fee of generally under $100 for a state id/license is a poll tax?

Hell, I'd gladly agree to full government funding of IDs if it legitimizes the voting process and the ID is an enforced voting requirement. What we have now is simply a sham!
In fact, how about a biometric ID? Can you imagine what Kos Kids would do in their pants if there were a credible deterrent to voter fraud? It would be the best-spent $10B in years.
