Then they can get one free of charge. That's the law.I do. What if you dont have one?I don't see a problem with asking for an ID when your ballot is cast.
Go get another one.Depends on your location. Also what if you lose that? You cant go back and vote after the fact.Voter registration card works...I do. What if you dont have one?I don't see a problem with asking for an ID when your ballot is cast.
So this is how you libs react when one of your own dares to stray off the reservation?You brought it up *3 martini lunch*OH state ID:
$8.50, good for 4 years. $2.125 per year.
Procedure and acceptable documentation:
ODPS BMV State Identification Card
ODPS BMV Acceptable Identification Documents
So much for the inane "undue burden" argument.
Sure Bubba, because it's NOT like the poor live right next to the DMV and can just pop over on their 3 martini lunch right?
Are you saying the poor cannot afford alcohol? And, the last time I checked, the DMV is not usually located in the ritzy parts of town.
Your argument has gone from being simply wrong (there is no racism if everyone is held to the same standard) to offensive (as if Hispanics and blacks are too intellectually or financially challenged to afford something that is free) to buffoonery at it's zenith (now, it's because they are blue collar workers by and large?).
A bit of advice "bubba"...quit while you are behind.
Alcohol? What nonsense is that about?
You're becoming tiresome. You've been blown out of the water every time you've opened your mouth on this subject.Sorry Bubba, ANOTHER epic fail from the "moderate".
AGAIN
As a fellow liberal, I usually am in the market for other points of view from the left; Lord knows there are way too few on this board. But you've really gone off the deep end. I'm not sure what your particular strain of dementia is but cutting and pasting cherry-picked information is not helping your case. It's pretty much what lead us into Iraq if you recall...
And, yes, you too sound like a fucking idiot.
Time to put you on ignore <plink>.
Don't know what sarcasm is with the 3 martini lunch bit when your poor Bubba? I'm shocked you are NEVER honest, from a "moderate" no less, lol
"fellow liberal;"

Who cares.. We live in a different world now...What did they do before ID?Not sure why you need an i.d. to vote .
So YOU can't walk in to the polling place and lie about being a registered voter OR say you are me and vote MY legal registration. The ONLY POSSIBLE reason not to require valid ID is so YOU can cheat the system.

New database of US voter fraud finds no evidence that photo ID laws are needed
- In-person voter-impersonation fraud is rare. The database shows 207 cases of other types of fraud for every case of voter impersonation. “The fraud that matters is the fraud that is organized. That's why voter impersonation is practically non-existent because it is difficult to do and it is difficult to pull people into conspiracies to do it,” said Lorraine Minnite, professor of public policy and administration at Rutgers University.
- There is more fraud in absentee ballots and voter registration than any other categories. The analysis shows 491 cases of absentee ballot fraud and 400 cases of registration fraud. A required photo ID at the polls would not have prevented these cases.

Conviction in GOP voter-suppression scheme
Paul E. Schurick, the 2010 campaign manager for former Maryland governor Robert L. Ehrlich Jr., was convicted Tuesday by a Baltimore jury of four counts stemming from a robocall that prosecutors said was intended to suppress the black vote.
Fortunately, other members of the former Republican governor’s team will also stand trial for their role.

Study: Voter ID laws hit minorities
Study Voter ID laws hit minorities - Associated Press - POLITICO.com
Studies show that as many as 11 percent of eligible voters do not have government-issued photo ID. That percentage is even higher for seniors, people of color, people with disabilities, low-income voters, and students. Many citizens find it hard to get government photo IDs, because the underlying documentation like birth certificates (the ID one needs to get ID) is often difficult or expensive to come by. At the same time, voter ID policies are far more costly to implement than many assume. Instead, Improvements in voting technology and modernization of our voter registration system will both increase efficiency and close the door on mistakes and fraud.
Voter ID Brennan Center for Justice
Voter photo ID laws are particularly costly and burdensome for women in part because roughly 90 percent of women change their legal name upon marriage or divorce. According to the Brennan Center, 11 percent of eligible voters do not have a government-issued photo ID, and only 48 percent of voting-age women have a birth certificate that accurately reflects their current name.
The story of 78-year-old Alberta Currie offers just one example of the suppressive nature of photo ID laws. Currie, who is the great-granddaughter of a slave, was born in North Carolina by a midwife and lacks a birth certificate. As a result, she cannot obtain a voter photo ID, which North Carolina is seeking to require to voteas early as its 2014 midterm elections. For Currie, and the thousands of voters like her, the steps to update or acquire a voter photo ID are far from easy. The onerous process can require travelling to a local government office – a particularly difficult task for rural or disabled voters – and shelling out money for the necessary documentation, such as an original copy of a birth certificate or marriage verification documents. Even though government-issued voter photo IDs are meant to be free, the fees associated with acquiring them creates a heavy tax – particularly for women, a population that is already economically disadvantaged and overwhelmingly more likely to live in poverty than men.

The Real Fraud in “Voter Fraud”
How so-called reform laws aim to disenfranchise voters
Scholars confirm what the Bush Justice Department found—little evidence that voter fraud exists. More than anything else, voter fraud is a myth (see Justin Levitt, “The Truth about Voter Fraud,” Brennan Center for Justice, accessed on July 11, 2012). Lorraine C. Minnite, a public policy professor and a national expert on voter fraud, demonstrates in The Myth of Voter Fraud (Cornell University Press, 2010), that “voter fraud is a politically manufactured myth (p. 6).”
It is difficult to argue that the voter restrictions proposed in swing states like Florida and Pennsylvania are anything other than a ploy to suppress voting by people of color and the poor. First, Republicans have sponsored nearly all of the bills passed that would restrict voter registration

Voter rolls in Ohio are bloated experts say The Columbus DispatchBecause in the past DEAD people voted that is why. ILLEGALS have voted That is is whyNot sure why you need an i.d. to vote .
Once your name is crossed off the list as having voted at the polling place, you cant vote again. (Unless the polling place is breaking the law).
So the i.d. thing isnt completely necessary because the registered voters would be able to file a grievance of their vote was taken and it wasnt them doing it.
The real problem is updating the registry to exclude deceased people and things like that.
There have been widespread studies on voter fraud. Not much is abrewing.
How do you do any of the other things listed in the OP?I do. What if you dont have one?I don't see a problem with asking for an ID when your ballot is cast.
There are entire counties with small populations where just a few questionable votes could send an election in a different direction.I don't see a problem with asking for an ID when your ballot is cast.

I'm sorry that happened. Let me say this about that:
I don't think there will ever be a federal or state wide election that swings based on voter fraud. I doubt there would be a municipal election in a major city that swings. Big deal. The electoral process should be as sterile as possible and that means ID'ing who votes.
I keep going back to the Democratic chair of West Palm Beach County, FL back in the late 1990's. She was likely elected by a couple of hundred votes. She (her name escapes me) agreed to a butterfly ballot to be used in the 2000 election. That decision changed the course of history and lead us to the Iraq/Afghanistan war and the $700B bailout.
I'm not saying voter fraud installed her. I am saying it could have.
People have this strange view of government. That somehow, if it doesn't sway the President and Congress, it's not important. Most government policy that affects your daily life is local where a frighteningly small % off your neighbors decide who is making these ordinances.
As for the examples, you gave...again, I'm sorry about that. They knew the rules...
That is immaterial. The integrity of the process must be secured.Because in the past DEAD people voted that is why. ILLEGALS have voted That is is whyNot sure why you need an i.d. to vote .
Once your name is crossed off the list as having voted at the polling place, you cant vote again. (Unless the polling place is breaking the law).
