What could possibly be wrong with an ID required for voting unless cheating is the ultimate goal?

Democrats seem to think that Blacks and Latinos are too challenged or not smart enough to get driver's licences or credit cards...anyone believe this? Not me!

Then why do so many blacks allow themselves to be herded into voting poles to support the party that demeans them so much and so often!

Because black and Hispanic people are too downtrodden to get an ID.


Didn't you already know that?

I'm not really against Voter ID laws per se but view them more as laws in search of a problem. You have to provide ID when you register as it is and despite what the right wing media will tell you, voter fraud is not a significant issue. On its face there's nothing really "wrong" with the idea so to speak but it does seem like conservatives want to make voting as onerous as possible.

If the liberals actually believe you are being discriminated against at the polls by having to show your ID, then they would fight for complete removal of the need to show your ID for everything...

I don't see how attaining an ID is onerous

If you take their argument at face value, they are saying that minorities are too stupid to drive to the courthouse, walk in, stand in line, and get an ID card.

But in reality they want minorities, that aren't eligible to vote, to be able to vote.

Well it's part of a larger pattern of conservatives adding layer after layer to the voting process in order to suppress as much of the vote as possible.

So allowing the millions of illegal aliens that live in sanctuary cities the right to vote isn't voter fraud?

I don't like when I have to go to the DMV. It is in the worst part of town and takes forever, but it is not hard to get your ID.

If you vote early it defiantly should be a requirement.

Because it equates to more Democrat votes. More and more people are seeing politics as "a team sport" but instead of the team being "USA! USA! USA!" it's "GOP!" or/vs "DEMOCRAT!"

I don't even think most Democrats believe the justification the party gives for fighting voter identification.
