This woman was far too goal oriented and persistant to be a Liberal.

Her willingness to get back in the saddle each time she encountered an obstacle makes it unlikely that she would have voted Democrat.

If she were a Liberal she would have expectws things to go easily. When a goal gets a little tougher to achieve, rather than trying harder, liberals either give up working toward the goal, give up on the goal itself, or . try to get legislation passed to make the goal easy. Recent history is filled with examples of this, but one glaring example is the Iraq war.

Life isn't fair, kiddies. But it isn't unfair either.

Unnecessary burden? I must produce an ID everyday for all sorts of reasons. There is NO burden. Anyone opposed to this can only have one agenda. To allow people with no right to vote to actually vote.

No one has a problem when they are asked for a ID when cashing a check, I think the law requires you to have a ID on your person at all times, but, I been wrong before.

I heard that in may of this year we will all be forced to have a federal id. Mainly we can not trust the government in this so called free socioty. To much discrimination and its not fair to force people like they did in the ussr.

You must be white and iggnorant. Your statement reminds me of the Nazi citizens who proclaimed that they knew nothing of Dachau and could not smell the burning flesh!

You are right in the fact that nobody has any problem producing ID for every other aspect in life - but voting places must pull them out of pockets by osmosis. Maybe Mythbusters should run with this legend.

IN (I don't know of any state that does) does not require you to have an ID on your person at all times. You can drive with out a DL on your person. You had to "have been issued" one. There is a "failure to identify" statute but that pertains to refusing to tell a LEO who you are.

ignorant, not iggnorant

Your reference to the Nazis is typical of those who have no point to put forth. The exclamation point is a nice touch though.

STICK WITH THE SUBJECT "DUMBCOFF" -!!

The subject is not the color of a voters skin -!!

Nor is it about a voters intelligence -!!

But you leave little doubt on both about yourself -!!

If they are not concerned, or have an identity problem:

Maybe they just want to protect someone they know who does -???

The above 3-lines do pertain to the subject in the article.

The problem as I see it as that illegal aliens will no longer be able to vote. Since this is their land anyhow, shouldn't the illegals get to vote using all of their identities?

On the contrary: Sure you can. Just get in line with the rest of them who are purchasing "False ID's" after arriving here.

Let's be honest here - democrats want this b/c (1) they know their supporters are typically irresponsible and (2) they want the illegal vote.

The ACLU should be on the terrorist watch list.

A Quote from the article:

"The fact is there's very little evidence that there's a lot of voter fraud that these laws would prevent, and there's very little evidence that people are not being able to vote because of these laws," Smith said." __________

CORRECT -!

Because nothing has been implemented to catch "Voter Fraud" participants -!

Just how difficult does the most naive person have to be not to realize the ease in duplicating or altering most forms of identification documents -??? To the many (IN NEED) it is simply creating a "New Identity" - Plain and Simple, and they pay for it with U.S. Currency.

The most obvious numbers of these participants range somewhere within the 12-15 (or so) MILLION.

Now you tell me -!

Could a number within the range suggested above - alter the outcome of an election -??

Most U.S. American Citizens who are legal and exercise their right to vote don't want to take that bet on a chance -!

It is bad odds.

The "Voter Fraud Participants" are out there in large numbers.

It's just that there is no accurate and complete way to count &/or eliminate them.(not as of yet anyway -!)

Requiring a voter to have identification is not a burden in any way, it is simply a verification that the person is whom they say they are. It is no different then offering identification when you cash a check, apply at various agencies or even apply for work.

To not want to verify your identity when you vote is simply stating that you wish to hide something, espicially when the state has made it easy to go down and get an id.

The burden is that you have to have i.d. AND register to vote.
Since i.d. is required, then the secretary of state should just be able to pull all the data they need from the bmv databases, since it's now a legal identifier of you. Then you should be able to walk into any polling station, have your i.d. swiped, and have a custom ballot printed out for your district. That would be too easy and cause too many people to vote though.

End our old school voter registration system, problem solved.

This is crap. This whole 'if you don't have anything to hide' notion is completely 1984 and un-American. I don't oppose the ID law, but to say what you say is pathetic.

I guess if *you* have nothing to hide you wont mind the cops busting down your door when ever they want without a warrant. See, it's not about whether you have nothing to hide or not. It's about your willingness to let *our* liberty slip away.
