You Mean This Isn't Already the Law!!!

Few people realize that in many states in the country, you are not required to show an ID in order to prove you are who you say you are before voting. While most people don't know this little fact, others do and they use this knowledge to steal elections.

Hopefully this new bill will pass, but I'm not holding my breath. The biggest argument those against the bill use is that it is racist and hurts minorities. Would someone please explain to me how asking EVERYONE for an ID before voting is racist. It wouldn't happen to have anything to do with the fact that the most fraud is in the inner cities of America and this bill would stop that in an instance...nah...that can't be the real reason.

If you check out the NYT editorial:

Carter and Baker explain that the poor can't afford the cost of an ID card. Therefore, it is discriminatory and obviously racist.

As Marion Barry once said - "All laws are racist... the law of gravity is racist!"

Ahhhh - democracy. Both Carter and Barry were elected to office.

If you can't afford a $10 ID you have way more problems than gravity being racist!!! If one thing Katrina has shown is that when left to Democrats to run a city, you get the complete depravity that was New Orleans.
