Once again the Democratic party is whining, this time about Voter ID being required at the polls.
Now, honestly, how hard is it to bring your ID and show it to vote? We need an ID to have our utilities turned on, to buy alcohol, to drive and for a number of other things and yet it is a problem to show them when it comes to elections? When being responsible to elect a government official, one cannot be asked to be responsible enough to get a freakin ID?
While the local laws have not been challenged, new voter ID laws nationally are the most widespread, and most bitterly disputed, of several types of voting procedures that states have adopted after the chaotic 2000 presidential election. The procedures include statewide electronic databases of registered voters, which critics allege have in a few states improperly knocked out eligible people. In another procedure, Ohio and Florida -- battleground states that have produced recent contested elections -- have placed tighter reins on groups that work to register new voters.
Such rules, together with updated voting-machine technology, were touted as means to modernize and bolster public confidence in the election system. They have quickly led to new struggles over voting rights. Republicans and their allies assert that the identification requirements and other rules will lessen voting fraud. Democrats and their supporters contend the changes are ploys to suppress voting among poor, elderly, minority and disabled citizens, who are prone to support Democratic candidates.
There is also the fact that th Democratic party accuses the Republican party of trying to make it harder for people to vote for them. ummmmmmmmm HELLO????? The Republicans need to bring ID also, do you hear them whining like a baby about it?
The Democrats and those to the left are denying that there is voter fraud, well perhaps the should look into a group called ACORN.
So, less than a week before the midterm elections, four workers from Acorn, the liberal activist group that has registered millions of voters, have been indicted by a federal grand jury for submitting false voter registration forms to the Kansas City, Missouri, election board. But hey, who needs voter ID laws?
We wish this were an aberration, but allegations of fraud have tainted Acorn voter drives across the country. Acorn workers have been convicted in Wisconsin and Colorado, and investigations are still under way in Ohio, Tennessee and Pennsylvania.
How incapable does the Democratic party think their people are, if they do not even trust them to bring an ID to the voting polls? If they do not have the brains to be able to obtain one, then perhaps they are too stupid to vote.
Let us not forget the fact that we have dead people voting now too.
In his report, NewsChannel5 chief investigator Duane Pohlman uncovered dozens of votes being cast from the grave, and Mason said the trouble is just beginning for whomever is responsible for casting votes in the name of the dead.
"This really is an attack on the entire system, and it's of paramount importance that we find out how this is happening and we stop it so it can't happen again, one, and, two, find out who's doing it, so we can prosecute them if possible," said Mason.
So, the argument that there is not fraudulent votes being cast is either very naive or simply a bald faced lie. Either way, voter ID's are the best way to make sure that the vote is legal and conducted properly does not benefit one side more than the other.
It also makes me wonder at what game is being played by those that protest SO loudly about having to bring an ID on election day.... is it because they WANT illegal votes? Are they depending on illegal votes? Or maybe depending on those votes that are being cast from the grave? What does it say about people that argue so vehemently against the ID?
Quit whining about it and bring one or simply stay the hell home.
