So far we aren't required to show proof but we do have to sign the affidavit which is effectively an admission of guilt if caught.

Let me be clear. Voter ID laws discriminate against democrat zombies.

We might be dead...but we still vote.

It’ll be a bad day for voter fraudsters should the day come all states require proof of citizenship, it won’t stop it but will sure put a dent in it.

The day after the 2012 election, Obama’s DREAM act clowns showed up to protest the secretary of state for refusing to give them driver’s licenses. They actually claimed that trying to vote without ID made them feel singled out.

The SOS told them that it was a crime for them to vote and Obama created their legal limbo and if they had a problem with it they should take it up with him.

When casting an absentee ballot for our special Senatorial election a year or so ago I asked the woman in the Town Clerk's office that gave me the ballot if they ask for any kind of firm proof (birth certificate,naturalization records,etc) of US citizenship when one registers to vote."Oh no" replied the stunned,and dismissive,town official "state law specifically forbids asking for such documentation".

It must be noted that I live in one of the most "progressive" (meaning Maoist) towns in the entire Commonwealth of Massachusetts.That would explain why the town official was so outraged by my question.

The first time I voted in your state (when I lived there) I tried to show ID and the poll workers refused to look at it.

I knew an illegal alien who was proud of the fact that he regularly voted in your state.

States should put up as MANY roadblocks to voting as possible... It should be one of the HARDEST things to do... And voter roles should be purged early & often...

78% of Likely U.S. Voters believe everyone should be required to prove his or her citizenship before being allowed to register to vote. That’s up from 71% a year ago.

Just 19% oppose that requirement.

Judicial Watch plans to sue states with dirty voter rolls ... more registered voters than people eligible to vote.

Refusing the allow a governmental jurisdiction to require a valid ID to vote for one’s elected officials is simply idiotic. How any honest person with even half a brain support such a point of view? It’s time the electorate insists on this so obviously logical need and do so in droves outside every Registrar of Voter’s office and at every congressman’s and all state elected officials’ offices.

Only people determined to steal election with illegal votes would oppose fair elections.

It is an Alice in Wonderland world ain’t it. To vote their is only two requirements, you are 18 years old and a citizen. It boggles the mind that anyone would object to proof of these requirements to become eligible to vote. We live in a country where proof is needed to buy a 16 oz Budweiser but not to vote, just lunacy.

>”Just 19% oppose that requirement”<

Those 19% should be stripped of their U.S. Citizenship. They do not value the United States of America as a Sovereign Nation.

Lunacy is the most appropriate word I can think of and it applies to the minority because the vast majority are for proof of citizenship.

It shows that those who make the most noise, even if they’re wrong get the attention of the media and disingenuous politicians.
