Voter ID - I mean really!

[Olustee bus]

If a citizen does not have the mental adeptness to obtain a photo ID, do we really want their help in choosing our elected officials?

1 primary document proving your identity, such as your: Birth certificate. ...
1 secondary document proving your identity, such as your: Military ID. ...
Your Social Security number (SSN).
Proof of your address, such as: Utility bills, issued in the last 90 days. ...
Payment.

*racist
*bigoted
*sexist

Hang on just a sec, I totally agree with you from a common sense point of view. HOWEVER, Constitutionally speaking it is the right of citizens to vote. the Constitution does not mention anything about mental capacity, and as soon as you go down that path you're on a really slippery slope. If we have to qualify it, by what means will it be qualified, and by whom. It's basically the same argument 2nd amendment proponents like to make. Shall not be infringed, while not stated with those same exact words, the voting rights amendments should be interpreted exactly the same way, citizen, means citizen and is not qualified by mental capacity.

Requirements for voting and buying a gun should be the same.

My sister also lives in NJ and in her county she had to show her license to vote...in ours they didn't ask so I asked why my sister had to show hers....our county people said it is against the law to ask for proof !
How screwed up is that

(Ready for the lame NJ jokes)

Like it or not, until there is an amendment that states otherwise, if the prisoner is a citizen of the United States, yes.

Liberals don't think for themselves.

They just parrot back what they've been told to parrot back.

Hence, the NPC meme.



Of which, this is totally representative.

We have them in Texas, I had to show mine.

Wife and I were in New Orleans a year or two ago. We came out of this bar in the early afternoon, and there was a girl standing there asking for signatures on this petition. We thought we'd be game, then she starts blabbing about voter ID laws are racist...blah blah. We laughed, said we're from Texas, and walked away.
