| Democrats losing long war against voter ID |
| 2014-10-07 |
| [WASHINGTONEXAMINER] In one month, voters will go to the polls to elect the entire House of Representatives and a third of the Senate. Will the midterms be clean? Could some elections be stolen? Everyone ostensibly agrees that voters have a right to know that their decision is not being ignored. And a clear majority supports a simple way to make sure: voter ID. You would not know it if you read only the New York Times ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... or watched only MSNBC, but the Left and President B.O. are losing their fight to block the widespread introduction of voter ID cards. In courts of law and the court of public opinion, the issue is gaining traction. With few exceptions, liberal pressure groups have lost lawsuits in state after state, with courts tossing out their faux claims that ID laws are discriminatory, unconstitutional or suppress minority voting. |

| #5 I agree on purging the rolls. Perhaps every election should require re-registering. I'd also like to see a movement away from absentee ballots. Yeah you can fill them out at home but you should drop them into the box at the booth so your ID can be checked and your ballot can be counted along with the rest of them instead of getting lost along the way. I don't know what the military overseas should do but they need to figure out something because its just too damn easy to disenfranchise them with the current system. |

| #4 Red states will have voter ID. Blue states won't. The net of this will be to keep red states red and blue states blue. Next step is to purge voter rolls every four years. That would go a very long way toward reducing multiple registrations, dead voters, etc. Put another way, it makes wholesale vote fraud (i.e. the entire Democratic party) much more expensive. |

| #3 Why do you think they're importing 10 million illegals? Amnesty, then the vote. |

| #2 Any kind of vote fraud is treason. It is an attempt to overthrow the government by rigging an election. Anyone involved should be tried and convicted, then put against the wall and shot. Including those who like to 'find' ballot boxes forgotten in their trunk. |

| #1 It could help clean out the system some but only if it is enforced. Right now, they hop the border, and at the food stamp office, they are registered to vote with motor voter crap. Ballot certification helps |
