It is absolutely absurd to not have to show photo ID to vote.

In a time when a person has to produce a photoID for the smallest
of loan transactions (due to the USA Patriot Act)...it just doesn't
make sense to have have the same requirement for voting.

'Bout two weeks ago I had to show TWO forms of FEDERALLY ACCEPTED ID to renew my friggin' PO Box, even though I've had for 22 years and everybody that works at the Post Office there knows me on a first name basis. This is probably also related to the Patriot Act. This renewal was the first of it's kind I'd seen and it's the first time I've ever shown the Post Office ID for anything beyond Certified or Registered mail.

Interestingly, my FEDERALLY ISSUED pilot's license couldn't be used as a valid ID. I had to show up with my passport and my TN driver's license. It should be common knowledge by now that Tennessee issues driver's licenses to illegals if they bring in a power bill or phone bill to show "residency" and the state has been doing that for some time now. Guess the Feds aren't paying attention...I'm SHOCKED!

It is fun to watch the Dims twist and shout about why folks should not have to produce a photo ID to vote, though.....
