if you can't arrange to have a picture ID, do you really have any useful input?

Exactly how deep are you burying your head to not realize that racism against immigrants is being manipulated to get these laws passed? or are you actually aware of it but just living in denial. Even CNN showed several of the ads that clearly showed immigrants running across the border in the ads...and John Stewart did a whole collage of the ads that all featured background images of illegls while discussing the ID requirements.And again, to slap the 'tan people' line on the issue is low brow and intellectually lazy.
Should you HAVE to be 18 to vote?
Should you HAVE to be a resident of a State you are voting for Senator/Governor/etc. of ?
Should you HAVE to even register?
Restrictions, unfair, clearly motivated by some underlying disdain for other people right.
Look, the claim that ID being required is somehow hate of 'tan skinned people' is low brow and intellectually lazy. Smacks of Jeremiah Wright.
The easy way in is to register. Registration is easy and convenient. No record means registered. Near election dates there are people outside of supermarkets registering. No proof of nada needed.
Now when you go to vote you will need a State issued ID. That is tougher to fake them the BS you write on a registration card. And if ID info doesn't match registration info no vote. Your in the wrong precinct, State, or Country to vote. Why is that a problem. Vote in YOUR precinct, YOUR State, in YOUR Country. Unreasonable? Racists? No, it's just because people outside of a precinct should be able to select your City Council representative. People outside your City Shouldn't be able to select your Mayor, people outside of your County should not be selecting your Sheriff, people outside your State should be selecting your Governor or Senators or House Representatives, and people outside your country should not be selecting your President. Is this unreasonable?
Those working to twist these obvious truths into some kind of treacherous or restrictive motive are missing the point of voting, to select REPRESENTATIVES. The pattern that those that fight making sure those making the selections are those that will be represented face those being represented wondering why. Why NOT identify the voter casting the vote is eligible to select those for for whom they are casting a vote?
There is a pattern of who those people tend to be as stated by the OP. That pattern translates in the thread also. In lieu of substantive reason yell racist. Left wing 101. (If that fails yell lawsuit)
Nope, they did not make the ads. They simply repeated them. What is weak is your denial and belief that if you speak an untruth enough you will somehow make it true.PBP. Your referencing CNN and JOHN STEWARD. LOL Now That's weak.
C'mon...give some more denial of that facts. It still isn't true yet just because you say so.So your NOT up to it. Still clinging to the racist thing..gotcha.
I am not claiming that racism is the real reason for the laws. I feel that lowering voter turnout is the true goal. But that does not change the fact that the laws are being sold based on racial hatred. That cannot be denied. They cannot sell the law by saying "Hey, this will make more of the middle class skip voting" so they say "you don't want Pedro voting, do you?"Read past the first sentence of the post. Post back when you can debate the rest of the post you only addressed 1% of.
Surly libs can do better then yell "racist" and "I'll sue."....can't they?
Voting in North Dakota
Precincts in North Dakota maintain a list of voters who have
voted in previous elections.
When a voter approaches a
polling location they are asked to provide an acceptable form
of identification. Then the election board will attempt to locate
the voter’s name on the voting list. If the voter’s name is on
the list, the voter’s name and address are verified and the voter
is then allowed to vote.
If the voter is not on the list, but an election worker knows the
voter to be a qualified elector of the precinct the poll worker
may vouch for the voter. The voter then has the right to vote.
If the voter is not on the list and no poll worker is able to vouch
for them, the voter may be challenged.
As part of the challenge, the voter is asked to sign an affidavit swearing to
the fact that he or she is a qualified elector of the precinct and
therefore qualified to vote in the precinct. If the voter agrees to
sign the affidavit, the voter must be allowed to vote. If the
voter refuses to sign the affidavit, the voter may be denied the
right to vote.
In my area you must be registered and must show said card at time of voting problem solved no D.L./photo I.D. needed works so far
