No kidding.


If voter ID matters we can provide voter ID cards. If we can't be bothered to provide voter ID cards we clearly don't really care about voter ID very much.

Those damn liberals. Always worrying about people being able to vote. How dare they!



OUTRAGE!! Stop worrying about people being able to vote!



You guys are comical. In a 'squirrel gets whacked in the head by a rat trap' kind of way.


The story goes away if you direct a very small amount of funding to provide ID cards. You can create a better system that doesnt disenfranchise people and reduces the opportunity for voting fraud. One party seems to be almost universally against this though. Wonder why that is.

This is exactly what should happen.

Actually, you guys are comical. It's hilarious how your "NO U!" reflex has led you to this circular nonsense. Just a few days ago I was advocating photo ID cards in a different thread on this board. There are non-driver's photo ID cards that can be obtained in PA for example for $13.50, you just have to go to your DMV - and I'm not sure but I'd bet that similar things exist in all the other states. I think that you can have the fees waived too if it presents a legitimate financial hardship.

The whole concept should be handled by the DMV in states - if that requires more resources being committed to the DMV then so be it.

Yes you can fake identification papers and get fake driver's licenses but that generally takes some pretty nefarious activity and would be extremely low in actual occurrence anyway such that it wouldn't be a factor. If it's an issue handling your party affiliation and wanting to change that more frequently than you renew your photo ID, then just keep on handling that the same way you handle it now, no changes to that system needed.

I fail to understand why this is such a big problem.


Further, the argument is a joke - voter turnout is pathetic in this country, so I'd welcome anything that would get more people out voting - but voting legally.

The are plenty of people living in smaller towns who just need to walk down the street to get to their polling place, but the nearest DMV is over an hour away by car.

I'd support a program to provide public bus transportation to them to go and get their photo IDs if they somehow can't get to the DMV to renew their DL photos every however many years they have to do so...
