Mario, you are one sick PO$. Come on liver, do your thing.

No, no, no. His liver needs to stop doing it's thing.

BTW, I consider voter fraud to be a form of treason and thus potentially punishable by death.

And just what situation would an illegal be DEPORTED for attempting to vote? Heck, even LAW ENFORCEMENT is forbidden from inquiring the legal status of anyone, how the heck would an illegal “risk deportation”?

I guess I should have said “body do your thing”, since it is trying to reject the transplant. This voter ID bill should have been labeled the voter fraud bill. Then the dims would have to try to explain their position.

The fee for a Texas ID card is $15 for those under 60; this card expires every six years. In most cases, you may renew your ID card online for an additional $1 service charge. Those 60 and over get a break―an ID card costs only $5 and never needs to be renewed.

Can't afford a $15 ID card, but they gladly pay a Coyote $2,000 to $7,000.....

Go figure....

The article is false. It ignors ALL THE OTHER STATES WHICH HAVE ID REQUIREMENTS.

This is NOTHING NEW.

The only new part is illegal alliens ineligible to vote will not be able to vote any more.

Voter ID laws have been on the books in FL for DECADES.

The survived 2004 and 2000 elections without a single blip.

In fact it was never even argued by the left.

Wasn’t prosecution (or lack thereof) of voter ID fraud in New Mexico and other places a catalyst for some of the Atty Gen firings that Gonzales is now on the hot seat for?

Florida Voter ID Requirements:

Approved forms of picture identification are: Florida driver's license; Florida identification card issued by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles; United States passport; employee badge or identification; buyer's club identification; debit or credit card; military identification; student identification; retirement center identification; neighborhood association identification; and public assistance identification. If the picture identification does not contain a signature, you will be asked to provide an additional identification with your signature. If you do not have the proper identification you will be required to vote a provisional ballot.

Hmmmmm......a Buyer's Club Identification Card? What that f_?

In short it’s racist oppression of “minorities”, the third rail of American politics (which is why we don’t have border control). People don’t want to think about it but sooner or later we will either have completely open borders and elections or we will have a tamper-proof national ID. Modern ease of travel will make it a necessity if you want to retain anything vaguely resembling a nation. The criminal immigration policies of the last 40 years have brought the need for ID forward by decades or a century.

With picture I.D. the illigals won’t be able to use their fake I.D.s to vote 5, 6 or more times. It’s a cultural thing.

Now that he destroyed his liver while drinking all night and abusing strippers...he gets a replacement organ....and becomes the Magic Hispanic...

The protector of those that can afford to drink all night in strip clubs, but cannot afford $15 for a photo ID card the next day.....

What a dope!

Every nonpartisan, academic study on the impact of voter ID laws in other states shows they suppress voter turnout among the elderly, low-income citizens, Hispanics, African-Americans and the disabled.

I got no problem with that.

...or work two jobs don't have the time, money or ability to get an ID card or documents they would need to vote.

How did they get these "two jobs"? Every job I've ever had required a lot more identifying documentation than any voter ID proposal.

Good point. Really good point. Depressing the "turnout" is exactly why we do it. My recommend additional requirements:

1. Must own real property;
2. Must be able to read English;
3. Cannot have ever formed voting opinion from the League of Women Voters debates. If the prospective voter has, he/she is too stupid and uninformed to be allowed to decide my fate.
