Fewer minorities and people on the political left turn out to vote

Is that because its harder to vote multiple times?

[samtheman]

Therefore strict picture ID requirements at airport security have a greater effect on minorities.

RIGHT????

The stupidest, most backwards countries have better systems to prevent fraud in place than we do.

The stupidest, most backwards countries have better systems to prevent fraud in place than we do.

The Democrats have effectively eliminated voter fraud by making it impossible to prove that it happened.

[Bubba_Leroy]

Illegal aliens and dead people are two of the Democrats’ most reliable voting blocks.

Not this sh&t again...

[mountainlion]

So if there are so many problems with IDs then why are they forcing National ID and Pa sports on Citizens and not on Illegals?

Summary: More voter fraud in 17 states who don’t require photo ID.

She said voter ID laws lead to lower turnout overall. “There are very few cases of people trying to vote when they aren’t qualified to vote,”

I’m sure she knows this for a fact. /s

You forgot See a Doctor.

I took a wrong turn into a Disney parking lot in Orlando. I had to show ID just to turn around. I told the guard I was disenfranchised.

Whenever I show ID, I ask why I need to do it for something stupid like _____ and not for important stuff like voting.

[A CA Guy]

A vote is important and if you can’t prove who is voting then IMO they can’t vote.

[JudyinCanada]

Funny, that. Thanks for the laugh!

[SkyDancer]

But they still need ID to get their food stamps/welfare money.

[ataDude]

This is such crap. You can’t cash a check, open a bank account, get a library card, fly on a plane and many, many, many other things without a photo ID. And voting is one of the most important things we do. Crap... pure crap.

[AFreeBird]

Why? Because the lie, cheat and vote more than once?

Pity /s

Democrats didn’t have a problem with Indianas voter ID in 2008 when Obama won the state.

Only when they lost in 2012 that they started to b*tch about it again.

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- Researchers from the University of California, San Diego, have created a new statistical model. It shows that when laws require voters to show an ID, it affects voter turnout among different groups. Fewer minorities and people on the political left turn out to vote.

The researchers found strict ID laws cause a lower Democratic turnout by 8.8 percentage points. They only caused 3.6 percent drop in Republican voters.

Perhaps it is due to the fact that 8.8% of the democrat voters are illegal aliens and only 3.6% of the republican voters are illegal aliens.

I always vote early here in Texas. I give them my driver license and they let me vote. Why in the hell would anyone that is a legal citizen be discouraged from voting by the requirement to submit valid id. If you do not drive the Great State of Texas will issue you a valid ID upon proof of citizenship and the cost is zero.

The Libs like to trot out the old "only industrialized nation in the world that doesn't ____________"

But they never seem to mention that when it comes to Voter ID
