Voter ID law an ugly effort to subvert ballot (Barf Alert)

Yeah, it was pretty funny, in her first paragraph, that she claims that “people of color” are the only ones without ID.

Earlier this month, radio journalist Warren Olney pressed Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita about the prosecution of voter impersonation cases in Indiana. "Oh, yeah. We suspect it happens all the time," Rokita said. "Suspect?" Olney countered. "Well, are you saying you want to define whether or not there's fraud based on whether or not it's prosecuted?" Rokita answered, adding, "It's a hard type of crime to catch. ... It's hard to catch one in the act."

She tries to paint the lack of prosecution to point out it doesn't happen. In her little mind she can't see that where it is illegal to require I.D., it is virtually impossible to challenge a voter.

I'm sure anyone who wants a state I.D. can find a way to get one in short order (it takes about fifteen minutes in South Jersey). There's little doubt in my mind that A.C.O.R.N. or one of the other voter fraud organizations can get them as many different I.D.s that they want.

If the U.S. Supreme Court upholds Indiana's harsh voter ID law

Soooo, reaching into my back pocket for my drivers license is harsh?

FAR OUT!! That root canal is looking great now.

maybe we should take a lesson from the Iraqi’s....dip your finger in the ink when you are done casting your ballot...simple solution to a complex problem...

[Tarpon]

Apparently the Democrats cannot get elected without vote fraud.

Don’t you need ID when you apply for welfare?

[aroundabout]

What? It might cost $50.00 to get a State ID? I am not aware of any State that charges for one. I thought that for this purpose, it would be free of charge.

[RockinRight]

Well I was speculating.

I really wouldn’t know...I’ve always had a driver’s license, ever since age 16.

" I like the “no prosecutions means there’s no fraud” logic. I’m going to stop locking my car when I go to the mall because as far as I know nobody has ever tried to take anything from it.

In NJ, my brother works at the polling place and he tells me that if someone comes in to get a ballot, all they need do is give a name and address and if that name at that address is on the rolls they get to vote. No proof of any kind is asked for and according to him is against the law to even require.

...The GOP-led campaign to pass stringent voter ID laws is a greater injustice than the prosecutions of the Jena Six, more significant than the incarceration of Michael Vick..."

The jena six beat the hell out of someone...Vick was incarcerated for disgusting crimes against animals....

I guess justice is injustice if it's against someone the same color as Tucker?

I have a feeling that Dems would also reject the use of signature recognition software.

And (visual) signature recognition has been used for decades.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Posting a Tucker article twice just makes her twice as dumb.

[oldenuff2no]

Dead people have been voting in the Dem states for years. Either this idiot believes that they come back from the dead just to vote or it is absolute proof of voter fraud. Any intelligent person would figure this one out in a half second. This Author hasn’t figured it out in years!!!!!!

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

I’ve seen vote fraud occur first hand, because you couldn’t check IDs and verify the identity of the voter. ‘Twas by Dimocrats, of course.

They don’t have to sign in? When I lived in NJ, we had to sign the roll right next to the voter registration signature they had on file. No ID, but at least a signature comparison.

[aroundabout]

I don’t know about signing in. All my brother said was that no idea could be asked for to prove who they were. It seems that even if they did sign in and the signatures didnt match nothing would prevent the individual from voting.

"If Republicans were interested in actual voter fraud, they would have tightened the rules for absentee ballots, since that's where most voter fraud occurs. But because absentee voters tend to vote Republican, many GOP-dominated legislatures have made absentee balloting rules less stringent."

Now that's funny. The Dhimmi's in control of our state have been working towards all mail (absentee) voting. This so-called opportunity for mayhem that they claimed was being perpetrated by the right suddenly wasn't a problem after all (this coming from a state that has a serious challenge to unseat Illinois as the voter-fraud capitol of America).

Proving once again that the Dhimmis want their cake and to eat it too (and insist that somebody else pays for it!)...

[Savage Beast]

Cynthia's got a point:

The hundreds of thousands of dead-Americans, the hundreds of thousands of illegal-alien-Americans, the hundreds of thousands of fictitious-American, the hundreds of thousands of multiple-vote-Americans, the hundreds of thousands of pet-Americans--cannot march in protest.

It's all so unfair!

And worst of all--the disenfranchisement of all these hyphenated-Americans will cause hundreds of thousands of Democrat-American politicians to get thrown out of office!

[Pilated]

What in the heck is SO SCARY about having ID to vote. I want to be counted as Me and I want someone to make sure it is ME using my vote. I’ve had ID since I was 14 and proud of it!
