"...Seriously, how many citizens cannot produce any proof of it? If this is really a problem, we need to be looking at THAT. I think virtually everyone has a photo ID..."

 

Agree. As I understand it, many, if not all, of these state efforts have provisions to issue personal photo ID cards free of charge to anyone who doesn't already have one and who cannot afford the small fee ($5 or so). 

 

There is NO valid reason for a person to not be able to produce photo identification in order to vote.

That’s what I think. I have no desire to keep people who are citizens and have the right to vote from voting (altho if someone is too lazy to bother to do anything for themselves I’m not inclined to go to track them down and do it for them). But I just don’t think there is anything preventing someone qualified from being able to avail themselves. This is all smoke and mirrors and is designed to allow people who should not vote, or allow people to vote more than once.
I live in S. FL and I am convinced that it’s not uncommon for snowbirds to vote here AND in NY or NJ. And we all know how they vote. If they voted for conservatives you know the rules would be tightened up yesterday.
