Of course the dems always use 'disenfranchising' the poor little voter who can't get an ID (dead people) as a reason to be against requiring Voters to provide I.D. but anyone in their right mind knows it is how fraud is best perpetrated.

A veto is possible however, we have our RINOS too.

This is a battle we need to win before 2012. The article states

Were both of those issues in the same bill? If I were gov, I'd sign half of it.

So ID is no longer required for state services too? Lest it disenfranchise the same people?

Oh, right, just for voting...

In Barry’s new American banana republic, preventing voter fraud is now known as “disenfranchising” DemocRAT “voters” who are so worthless and ignorant that they can’t seem to be able to come up with a voter I.D. in order to vote. Now that’s pretty ignorant if you ask me. People this worthless and ignorant shouldn’t be voting anyway. IMHO.

Also, ID will no longer be required to enter a government building, enroll in public school, buy liquor or tobacco, cash checks, apply for unemployment, welfare or social security, check out a library book, to fly, buy a bus or train ticket, obtain a passport, or open any kind of credit account

lest people be disenfranchised

Yet we need an ID to get a job, cash a check, to buy cigarettes, alcohol (which I’m sure the dem voters do), open a bank account, and a lot of other things. But asking someone to show an ID to vote would “disinfranchise” them. The dems promote voter fraud - simple as that.

We have a voter ID requirement in Michigan now. Look what happened.

We won the governor’s mansion, 2 US house seats, attorney general, secretary of state, several state senate seats, several state house seats, and a state supreme court seat.

“In his formal veto message, Nixon said the bill would disenfranchise voters who don’t have access to a photo ID or the documents necessary to obtain one, such as a birth certificate. Specifically, he said access to the ballot box could be limited for seniors and the disabled.”

So, how’d they get registered to vote in the first place with no birth certificate or ID? Hmmm?

This opens the door wide for vote fraud and voter intimidation from the other end of the spectrum.

Unfortunately early voting is on the table here. Unbelievable. I just wrote my Senator on facebook to find out what is going to be done.

Well that might happen in St. Louis or KC but that won’t happen in the smaller towns. They’ll get their clock cleaned around here.

Yes indeedy, the dims and RINOs LOVE extending voting to cover those too busy watching Oprah, sleeping off the drunk or drug high, to vote on election day but demanding NO photo IDs for actual voters (as it might disenfranchise someone - like those committing voter fraud!)

Time to make the law actually work for the rest of us = sue merchants, banks, airlines, TSA, etc. for demanding photo ID to conduct other types of business, as it must also "disenfranchise" minorities, elderly types and single women!

Well done. Love your state. One of two snow states where I really felt at home.
