Voter ID Law Struck Down in PA

Have to show a photo I.D. to sell a few pounds of scrap metal but not to vote for the President of the U.S.A. Makes sense to me. :confused:

I think the GOP sees the requirement as a way to suppress voters who are typically Dems.

That was a simple yes or no answer. Now let's take politics out of it for a moment (if you're capable of doing such an act)

Do you personally think a government issued photo ID should be required to vote in order to help guard against voter fraud?

Yes or no will do.

I really don't see the big deal. If I hear one more person say "it's a burden to have to go to the DMV to get one" I am going to kill a small animal. These are the same people who feel like it is a burden to get a job, or to get off their lazy asses and be a productive member of society. LG can bring up the elderly all he wants. That is just a straw man. The vast majority of those who are opposed to voter IDs are perfectly able-bodied.

I don't see anything in the Constitution prohibiting anyone from verifying someone's identity before they are allowed to vote.

I use Ms Ida as my benchmark. She is a 90 year old African American woman that I go to church with. She was born in 1924 and spent most of her life in the South. Her mother was born in the late 1800s and her grandmother was a freed slave. Ms Ida has her driver's license still, but she doesn't drive anymore. She told me she got her license in the 60s because she needed to be able to drive to work. Before that it wasn't practical and she mostly road the bus. So she's had a drivers license (i.e. government issued photo ID) for over 50 years and says anyone who doesn't is just too lazy to get one and shouldn't be voting anyway.

You state it as fact when that is only your opinion.

I'm still waiting on the answer to my yes/no question from him.

Of course for LG, his opinions are facts, so chances of me getting an answer are about as likely to happen as a squirrel would be to turn into a fish.

The amount of voting fraud detected is infinitesimal.

Last election I asked some of my friends who was voting and 3 weren't, so I went ahead and cast ballots for them. All I had to do was show up at the right voting station, state my (their) name and no one questioned me at all. It was actually pretty easy and impossible to detect since I voted at 4 different stations.
