VOTER ID


Just prior to the last presidential election, the Pennsylvania state Supreme Court blocked enforcement of the voter identification law because of lingering concern that it could disenfranchise voters who lacked a valid photo ID.  The exact same thing happened in several other states.

Any judge handing down such a ridiculous decision needs to be removed from office.   You need photo identification to buy or rent a car, buy a house, rent an apartment, get a job, start a bank account, drive, in many cases, even to purchase a movie ticket,.  If fact, you need a proper ID for everything I can think of except to vote.   Every country on the planet that has elections REQUIRE that you present Identification before you can vote, except the USA.   So what’s the problem, why are we such a primitive country?

The answer is, the Democrats don’t want ID laws on the books, and we all know why.   Because Photo ID’s reduce fraud and helps to keep elections fair.  Those who are blocking ID laws don’t want fair elections. They don’t want fair elections because they benefit from fraud.  

If it’s this obvious to me, why isn’t it to everybody else?  The truth is, it IS obvious to everybody else.

To be a part of the economic mainstream of this country, it is necessary to have a valid photo ID.  So here’s a question for Democrats and the news media.  If it’s racist to ask voters for a form of identification at their polling place, why isn’t it then racist to also ask for identification before stepping inside a plane, or into a federal building, filling out a job application or opening up a bank account?

The right to vote is the most FUNDAMENTAL right and privilege we have as U.S. Citizens.  I don’t care what color or ethnicity anybody is, the right to vote was paid for by the blood of Americans.  If you can’t respect that enough to make an effort to get a photo ID so you can vote, you obviously are clueless on how and why this country was founded.  An overwhelming majority is in favor of voter ID laws.
 
But, on the down side, voter ID laws won’t eliminate ALL voter fraud in the “blue states” because if voters were required to show ID your democratically run state drivers license bureau would be used to produce hundreds of thousands of fake IDs for use by democrat operatives active in the fraud.   It’s easy, you can register to vote and get a drivers license at the DMV.  But that’s no excuse for not doing everything we can to reduce fraud and make our elections a fair as possible.
