#1 The press presents the populace with crap and the public eats it. DAMN right a photo ID is needed. Poverty? there is not poverty enough to maintain this idiot position. You can buy beer, smokes, drive a car, get a housing loan, but too poor to show your face in an election?

In my world, you must be a land owner to vote and you must show your face to vote. But that is only me. Funny how I believe you have to invest in the country you plan to live in to determine it's direction. This poverty crap has been run out for me. I am not buying it anymore. I live better than anyone in the third world in "poverty".

I still find a way to carry a photo ID. Especially if I want beer which I love.

BS BS BS

#3 ""The Supreme Court will now have the opportunity to right a wrong perpetrated by the Democrats ~~GOP~~ as a broader effort to make it harder for ~~some~~ Americans' to vote to count"

There fixed it for you. Remember Chicago - "Vote early, Vote often."

#4 I'd love to see a voter id law with teeth, but it wouldn't matter. Places like Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis and California would just declare that they won't enforce it...

#5 Look at King County in Washington state. Fraud there by the Dems won them the Gov's office.

Plenty of fraud, and this is a needed step in restoring the "one person, one vote" rule of law.

Note that the IDs are FREE. No reasonable person can call that a "poll tax" - it doesnt cost anything! Call it a "voter registration card", and issue it as part of your registering to vote, and require that it be shown.

Pretty simple.

#6 The death penalty to anyone attempting to vote a second time, posted in large print at the poll entrance in English. Then photograph every voter as they leave the booth.

#7 I use my Pistol Permit, never any argument.

#8 I used to have a really nice three letter agency ID that I'd use for that if we were going to move out of an area soon. Was fun to see the eyes widen.

#9 Everyone knows what's going on here. Even the dems know. They want to continue to commit massive voter fraud unchecked, and they don't feel the least bit guilty about it. No conscience, no sense of law and order, no patriotism. The only thought in their hateful minds is, "we gotta beat those evil Republicans". Lie, heat, steal, vandalize, whatever it takes.

All this is about is preventing voter FRAUD perpetrated every election by democrats. Nothing more and nothing less. Has nothing to do with the poor, or voting rights, or any of the bullshit Donna Brazile is shoveling.

#11 why worry? isn't there action in a lot of (democratic) areas to issue id cards to illegals 'to obtain services?'
sounds like much ado about nothing, but i predict the id requirement will be tossed by the Court.

#12 This type law was passed in GA, and has survived numerous lawsuits (thusfar). Guess who was the first to sue, though?

Yep, our former Democratic Governor. He was the representing attorney for the "poor, disenfranchised" voters (GA also was allowing for a "free" ID card, if you didn't have a Driver's License). Funny thing was, the Defense (State) asked if he had "standing" (right to bring the lawsuit) and was given a certain amount of time (more than enough) to go find one (JUST ONE) person who'd be truly effected by this law. He couldn't produce ANYONE (even out of all the local "hoods" in Atlanta), and thus, lost his case. I'd suspect he's heading to Federal Court, though, soon.

Multiple voters are not the biggest problem. Illegal aliens influencing our elections is a much more serious issue. The democrats must be blocked from using their runious welfare policies as a reward for illegal voters.
