We have to show ID to vote, no ID no vote.

Now that's the common sense approach... no ID..no vote...
Plenty of time for the ones who claim that can't get ID to get one!!
Maybe the shut-ins and those without transportation could call say a hot Line like...1-800-get-meID...then a govt rep could come take a pic and when done...mail the ID...see...problem solved!! :beer:

OR...when people apply for assistance or healthcare the intake worker could ask if they need a voter ID and process it right then and there!!
So many common sense ways to handle it :peaceout:

I bookmarked this, and I'll be happy to chime in with one of those lib opinions.

If only Republicans would be as eager to stop all of the securities fraud on Wall Street and Banking as they are to place restrictions on voting.  Jeez, once again they show who they're fighting for (and who they're fighting against)!   ???

University of Wisconsin study in 2005 showed these findings:
QUOTE
The population of elderly persons 65 and older without a drivers license or a state photo ID totals 177,399, and of these 70 percent are women.
Minorities and poor populations are the most likely to
have drivers license problems.
Less than
half (47 percent) of Milwaukee County African
American adults and 43 percent of Hispanic
adults have a valid drivers license compared to 85
percent of white adults in the Balance of State.
The situation for young adults ages 18-24 is even worse with only 26 percent of African Americans and 34 percent of Hispanics in Milwaukee County with a valid license compared to 71 percent of young white adults in the Balance of State.
The population that changes residence frequently is
most likely to have a drivers license address
that differs from their current residence. This would include lower-income residents who rent and students and young adults living away from home...

You're under the mistaken impression that they're asking for just a picture ID.  Minnesota Republicans never came forward with the exact regulations that they'd have on the amendment.  They said we'd have to pass it before we'd know!  lol  Some states like Tennessee are saying it's only the appropriate photo ID for some groups that's allowed, like people with gun permits or veterans ID even if it's expired.  But you can't use your student ID.  Even though nearly any student ID I've seen has a picture, republicans won't allow it.  They won't allow for any city or county issued ID either.

These are in addition to other voting restrictions like what happened in Florida last November.  The Republican governor limited early voting days that were in place, limited places and times, purged the voter rolls limiting many voters, and if that wasn't enough, they put in place restrictions on organizations that were doing voter registration drives.

Which goes to show, republicans do really love regulations, as long as it's putting more limits on who votes.   :oops:

Voter restrictions don't have to limit people voting, but in the real world, they really do.  Just like the poll taxes and literacy tests of the south didn't HAVE to limit voting of some groups, but it certainly did.  :;):

Still didn't answer except to say the voter ID system lacks continuity!
If you can't prove who you are... don't vote!
Ya want the privilege fulfill the obligation get photo ID...
Ya want the right to vote provide the ID you've earned that right..it's quite simple
