Question

House Passes H.R. 4844, the Federal Election Integrity Act
On Wednesday, September 20, 2006, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Federal Election Integrity Act of 2006 by a vote of 228-196. As the legislative session winds to a close, H.R. 4844 is another part of the House GOP national security strategy devised to show political support for securing the nation at its borders and now at the ballot box. H.R.4844 seeks to prevent fraud in the election process by requiring photo identification for voters in federal elections. All states will be mandated to check voters' photo identification by the November 2008 election. By November 2010, states will only be allowed to accept photo identification that was issued upon presenting proof of citizenship. Eligible voters who cannot pay for identification cards will be provided one by the state at no charge. Costs for such a mandate will be reimbursed by the federal government.

A recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll showed 81% of those surveyed favored an ID requirement for voting. In another poll conducted by Rasmussen, 77% of likely voters across the country agree that displaying a photo ID should be required to cast a vote. A number of states have already acted to require voters to follow proof of citizenship. In Phoenix, Arizona, registration went up 15% after passing a referendum requiring voters to prove citizenship when registering to vote. These changes encourage citizens to vote and discourage illegal voting.

Congressman Vernon Ehlers (R-MI) said in a statement, "Every day millions of Americans show a picture ID to pay by check, board a plane, or buy alcohol or tobacco. Surely, the sanctity of the ballot warrants as much protection as these activities. Requiring people to show an ID to prove their citizenship and eligibility will protect the vote, and help restore confidence

Answer 1

Ah yes, the HOUSE passed it. They are tougher on illegal immigrants. It must now go through the senate, where most pro-amnesty traitorous snakes dwell. This is the challenge.

Answer 2

In my tribes bi- annual elections, each voter must provide proof of residency, and a tribal identification which shows that you are an eligible tribal member in order to cast a vote for our tribal leaders, Our tribal I.d. cards are issued by the federal government and the card states your name, picture, tribal affiliation, residency status, & Voting district, along with your current address. I guess the tribes have already solved this voting fraud problem. Its a good thing for federal elections too. I will be happy to see this come into effect if it is finalized into law.

Answer 3

Another step in the right direction ,but its a long hard climb to get rid of the illegals here in this country.But each step brings us closer to the solution of the problems created by them.
We must all vote in the mid term elections,make your voice against amnesty and the presence of illegals heard,tell them with your vote that we as Americans demand secure borders and an end to illegal immigration.

Vote in NOvember
Make your voices hear in Washington ,
or send the politicians home

No amnesty
Deportation not legalization

Answer 4

Yes...I am very happy with this news. It is laughable to think that any illegal thought they had any chance of staking some claim on America or her people. It is clear that our politicians are distancing themselves from what they thought would be a windfall of a voting block. I am sending thanks to the illegals and their supporters for inadvertently restoring power back to the American people. The marches and demonstrations organized by illegals and their supporters has had such devastating results for them, but at the same time turned the tide of power away from the politicians and back in the hands of the true policy makers of America, the American people.

Answer 5

a. This IS good news. Let the illegals feel illegal, cut their flow of welfare and all other forms of public aid, cut their job flow, etc. and we can start getting them to go back on their own.
b. The only people who are going to be against this are:
1. Liberals: THEY need the votes, and many are pro-amnesty.
2. Illegals themselves: (For obvious reasons.)
3. Irresponsible residents of the projects: They are going to be forgetting and/or losing their cards.

Answer 6

Yeah, and this might pass ... if the Senate Democrats let it get to the floor. (I think they have a way to block at least whether it gets there on an expedited basis.)

I think this is a no-brainer. It isn't even just illegals - we don't want dead people voting either.

Answer 7

It's kind of funny to me - in North Dakota we've always had to show our state ID's to vote, even though everyone knows each other by name. Kinda disturbs me that larger states don't show as much common sense without it being forced, though. This is very good news.

Answer 8

This is very good news. A little bit disturbing that 196 of our representitives can not get over their hatred and at least vote something that the VAST majority of Americans see as plain common sense.

Answer 9

Except for the fact that you don't have to be a citizen to get a driver's license - legal but non-citizen immigrants can still get them.

So now every yahoo (no pun intended) working at a polling station will say, "Oh, I guess yer a citizen, aintcha, 'cuz ya got one of them there picture licenses."

Can't wait for the voter fraud to begin!

Answer 10

What an interesting way to get around the apposition to a national ID card.
