More proof that Terry and La Gubernadora are obstructionists. Blocking this proposal has one affect, and one affect only...it lets voter fraud continue.

PHOENIX - Arizonans who show up at the polls without some form of acceptable identification will be denied a ballot, perhaps as soon as local elections this November.
On Friday, Secretary of State Jan Brewer revealed her proposal for procedures election workers will have to follow to determine who gets to vote. Brewer said the plan complies with the requirement of Proposition 200, approved by voters in November, which mandates ID both to register and vote.
"Voters who produce no ID will not be provided a ballot and will be instructed to return with an appropriate identification," Brewer said.
Her plan spells out which forms of ID are acceptable.
It also details whether someone gets a regular ballot or a provisional one. The latter is equally valid - but only if separately determined later to come from someone entitled to vote.
Attorney General Terry Goddard said that is a more cumbersome procedure that will slow up the process and possibly discourage people from voting. And Goddard, who did not get a copy of Brewer's proposal until Friday, said he needs to review it before he gives his legally required approval.
But Brewer said her plan complies with a verbal agreement she reached with Goddard more than a month ago. And Rep. Russell Pearce, R-Mesa, who helped craft Proposition 200, said if Goddard does not approve this plan, he and other supporters of the initiative will sue.
State law requires any change in voting procedure proposed by the secretary of state to be approved by not only Goddard, but also the governor. And Brewer is entitled to propose something on her own.
But Goddard, a Democrat, said Brewer, a Republican, seems more interested in confrontation than cooperation.
Brewer, however, said it is Goddard who is not cooperating with voters who approved Proposition 200. "It is not our job as elected officials to second guess the will of the people," she said.
One form of photo ID would be enough to get a ballot - provided it is on the official list.
Wait for the firestorm when Dem voting totals drop by 20% at the next election due the the eradication of fraud.
They will scream "intimidation"

Would not surprise me. Al Gore will be brought in to identify all the dangling chads that "DISENFRANCHISED THE ILLEGAL MEXICAN VOTER"!!!
How long does it take to whip out your license and have someone look at it? It takes me longer to cash a check than to show ID while voting. Geez
This should be the law of the land. Too simple for the folks in Washington, I guess - it makes sense.

affect = effect.
Sheesh, Jinx.
Ping...
The poor in California seem to have it. I've seen food stamp users whip out an ID and have no problem. Maybe it just the two grocery stores I use, but the cashier always check their ID, and I've seen them do it to repeat customers they know very well.
Mexico requires a photo ID and a fingerprint, that tells me that our Dumbocrats are not even up to third world standards.
Looks like the first post, with more comments and info, is over here:

Democrats are in panic mode....BIG TIME!!
No ID no vote?
Some blue states become red states next election.
So, they'll obtain 3 or 4 sets of I.D. and vote their usual 3 or 4 times...
When Democrats cater to the criminal element...they operate within their strongest base.
"They will scream "intimidation""
Oh yeah. Some of the Dem leaders are still moaning about the "stolen" presidential elections of 2000 and 2004 (stolen election=one they didn't win).
Try cashing a check, getting on an airplane or even buying liquor at Sam's Club without a photo ID. Why should we require anything less to vote?
At that point we deport them along with the illegals.
Trust me, they'll find some other way of committing voter fraud. It's not that easy to eliminate.
