A private commission trying to restore public confidence in national elections recommended on Monday requiring a free photo ID for voters, drawing opposition from Democrats and some voting rights activists.
Critics suggested that having to acquire the ID cards in order to vote could be an obstacle for minorities, the poor and older Americans and might intimidate some people.
“We believe such a requirement would constitute nothing less than a 21st century poll tax,” said a letter from Reps. John Conyers, D- Mich., and John Lewis, D-Ga. Poll taxes were once used in some states to prevent black citizens from voting.
Note that they prososed a free id, yet these guys decided to compare it to a poll tax.
Try to come up with one scenario in which an individual would not have 1 piece of id to use in order to get the id card. I can’t think of any. You need id to get a job, cash a check, rent a video, obtain any form of social services,open a bank account, close the bank account, rent an apartment, buy or sell a house, and even to get cable!
this is all about the mass dismantling of the U.S.A., And it will be done if people just stand around and say nothing, we may need to start shooting soon.
did the drug dealers say “Intimidate”..go to L.A. And walk down a street and tell me about intimidation.
Long live the USA, Down with the enemies of this nation and maybe its trojan horse non government.:twisted:
Why should voters have to have a ID to vote this isnt the USSR or cuba why dont we register the politicians instead?:roll:
The fact is we have way too much corruption in the voting system. We already have a voter card, so what is the difference between that piece of paper, and a picture ID?
4, We had a Democrat who was and elected official who oversaw the Registrar of Voters. This official owned properties in several voting precincts in this city. He voted in eacho of those precincts!
Any system, and real photo IDs, not Mexican Metricula cards, are a start, must ensure that a person can only vote once in an election. Not like I and Kelo have seen where Democrats take van loads of oldsters and winos to every precinct in town to vote Democrat.
Also, maybe we should consider immediate execution of poll workers who fix the vote. An example is that woman pollworker who voted a straight Democrat ticket for Mike Kilo. That woman deserves to be shot on sight.
haha…nothing ever came from that one!!! I’m surprised!
I’m more concerned with the democrat operatives who register FOR people, bribe them with malt liquor and Kools, drive them to the polls, etc….
If those were the kinds of “voters” I had to rely on, I’d seriously be re-examining my political philosophy.
6- I am not sure why those in the nursing homes are not getting absentee ballots. In my area of MI, the homes have all the paperwork on site to registar the resident so that they, the home, does not have to worry about an outside trip for the residents.
MI is looking to registar you at the Secretary of State Offices. I will try to get written info on the proposal.
8, in Dubuque, the Democrat activists go by themselves to fill out absentee ballots for residents, especially the addled, alzheimer patients. No one ever questions the 100% Democrap votes.
10-That is in direct violation of the law. If you read an absentee ballot, which I have at my parents house, there are big bold notes all over the manilla envelope, telling you exactely which penal code is being violated, whether that be that the ballot was obtained by anyone other than the voter, or if the ballot was filled out by anyone other than the registared voter.
12, as in Philadelphia, if the enforcement officials, the DA, and others who should stop this are Democrats and this benefits the Democrat party, then it goes on. Not even the local rag reports any Democrat wrong doing until well after the fact.
Remember, this is the state that Certified Tom Harkin as a resident when all he had was his disabled brother’s post office box for an address.
This is a FEDERAL CRIME! I would suggest bombarding the U.S. Atorneys office with complaints! People fail to remember that even though the state runs an election for POTUS, it is categorized as a federal event. Hence the SCOTUS getting involved in Florida.
13, W never removed the Clintonista that is the US Atty for this district, unlike Clinton that fired everyone. I think Clinton did that to stop investigations into himself and Hillary.
Well I guess we need to get districts and names and use the power of the blog!
15: Or bombard the FEC and the Atty. Gen. with complaints.
Exactly Sasha. We have options. We can be heard. If the MSM can be brought to its knees, so can an election board.
17, Have the 5 Democrats who slashed tires and vandalized the Vans the GOP in Milwaukee rented been convicted? Did they just get a slap on the wrist or hard prison time?
18- I believe it was posted about 3 months ago. I am not sure what they got, but I know it wasn’t hard prison time, nor should it have been. The punishment must fit the crime and in this case, monetary fines and community service were ordered I believe.
19, Excuse me, P, but when the Democrats even perceive that their voting rights (And right to stuff the ballot box) have been hindered, they call for hard prison time if not a political death penalty. Should not they receive what they demand?
I was referring to the slashing of tires.
21, the slashing of the tires was a deliberate effort to keep elderly GOP voters away from the polls.
