One would have to be very very naive to believe that voter fraud does not exist in America. But IMHO these naivetes are more fox than naive.
The Department of Justice approved a voter ID requirement for Georgia in 2005. In 2008 Crawford v Marion County Election Board, the Supreme Court ruled that a similar Indiana requirement for photo ID would not impose an undue burden on voters. These states joined 31 other states requiring photo ID's for voting.
Attorney Generals have always played politics but none has carried it to the art form of Eric Holder, whom along with Obama, Assistant AG Perez, NAACP and the ACLU prevented Texas from enacting such requirement even though Texas agreed to issue such photos ID's free of charge.
Apparently free contraceptives are more important of a priority than free photo ID cards ensuring a fair and clean result Hmmmmmmmmm
A requirement for voting is that a person has to be of legal age and a citizen.
So how does one determine that without a photo ID? And how does one know if the person voting is not using the name of a person now deceased, their dog's name ,etc.
IMHO enforcing a photo ID is essential to protection of our democracy unless of course you don't mind foreigners deciding who your elected officials will be.
Or perhaps we could go to Plan B and require each voter to stick their finger in ink so that at least we knew that they didn't vote twice.....perhaps?????
Bottom line make any excuse you want or will ,but isn't it simply better not to guess and eliminate as much as possible the opportunity for fraud.
I opine you decide
