Such laws reduce voter fraud to zero.

I wish. No, nothing will reduce voter fraud to zero. There are just to many creative other ways to cheat. It will, however, make it a lot harder, and thus more expensive, to engage in wholesale cheating, and that is a definite plus.

“....Harrell was referring to the Section Five of the Voting Rights Act, which states that some states that had previously discriminated against blacks must get approval from the Department of Justice when they make any changes in how elections are conducted.”

Some States suffering such Federal control due abusive Democrat acts of the civil rights era.

Something else that needs to be rescinded when the adults are back in control.

Lousy crat operatives go into nursing homes and fill out absentee ballots for the residents.

nope...I'm a Republican member of the two person team in our town that visits shut ins and allows them to vote. One Democrat and one Republican...as safe as we can make it. We deliver the votes to the clerks office, verify the count, and we each sign each voters envelope agreeing that the votes are authentic.....as safe as we can make it (Indiana)....and by the way, we have required picture I.D. to vote and, believe it or not, minorities do have picture I.D.s

[terycarl]

we now have a law in Indiana that you are carded (picture I.D.) every time you purchase carry out liquor...any age, I’m 72 and get carded every time...no exceptions!!!

Seems to me that here in Alaska it’s a given. The nice ladies at the polling places check your name on the list and check your id card before they check you off and give you your ballot. I think it has always been that way since I first voted in Alaska in the late ‘80s. What’s the issue?

I've never shown photo ID to vote. Your voter registration card is accepted as proof of your eligibility to vote, and there is no picture on it. I've been doing it way since I was 18 and Alaska is the only state I've ever been registered to vote in.

“If you have to show a picture ID to buy Sudafed, if you have to show a picture ID to get on an airplane, you should show a picture ID when you vote,” Haley said. “This was another example of legislators having a good idea and the people carrying it forward saying we want it to happen and we want it to happen this year and you see the product of it.”

It is not like buying Sudafed or getting on an airplane. While it may be as simple, it is about restoring the integrity of the ballot box so as to prevent voter fraud. If this is not done we will, soon enough, change our government the way South American banana republics do...at the point of a gun. Nothing is more important than restoring this integrity.

Good for you guys. I can tell you that when my mother was in a nursing home Dim operatives went in and voted for the patients. And the staff helped them until I raised hell. This was in Vermont. It goes on all the time. It is how the dims win. Fraud. Please keep up the good work.

[MagnoliaB]

Someone I know who use to manage a nursing home said the same thing. Dim operative employees would bring in absentee ballots and fill them out for residents that don’t even know what’s going on and get a signature of some sort. Voter corruption plain and simple.

[Scotsman will be Free]

Exactly so.
