Article posted:WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department's civil rights division on Monday objected to a new photo ID requirement for voters in Texas because many Hispanic voters lack state-issued identification.


I stopped reading the story after that because I was laughing...

Not that it is really funny at just how backwards and awful the out of control national government has become.

Should a citizen be forced by the government to have a photo id card? Especially if they don't drive and thus not have the most common one? You would think the more libertarian types would be against forced identification. No where in the Constitution is an id card listed as a voting requirement.

Only if they need to be the person they say they are. Would you allow someone to cash a check without an ID?

Really, you guys are so liberal. When they have buses filled with people driving from voter poll to voter poll you really should do something. Why liberals keep thinking something as simple to get as an ID is an issue is beyond me. Makes me think they have something far more important to them to protect.

Ensuring that the poor and the mobility impaired have access to the voting booth is pretty important. Well, not for you....but for many it is.

You think libertarians are against identifying who is voting? Why?

No one is forced to get or carry identification. If you want to vote though then we kinda need to know who you are.

The seems to mobile enough and have enough money to get to the voting booth, they should be able to make it to the DMV just fine.

There should be some sort of identification to make sure the person voting is really the person and he's a real US citizen

Voting fraud is anti-democratic in a process that is already anti-democratic

I'd be more happy if they destroyed the corrupt 2 party system that hand picks who we are allowed to vote for and destroying the corruption in the media that sells us these pieces of shit people we call Presidential candidates and the wars they want to sell to the dumber part of America. Destroy by any means, hang them for all I care. The tree of liberty needs to be watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants
