The Democrats and Liberals don't, which means they are caving to La Raza!

Yes, a special voter photo ID card that requires a basic US civics exam to acquire. Also a piece of mail with the voter's adress and name and a birth certificate or a passport.

Of course we should - NOT!
That way, anyone with $50 can go buy a extremely convincing counterfeit driver's license on the street corner and get to vote.
The US does not have, and will never have, a bullet-proof, impossible to counterfeit, low-cost national identification card. Ain't gonna happen. ID's offered by most states can be counterfieted with great ease.
American citizens don't want Big Brother watching over them. A national ID is exactly that. Are you ready to 'carry your papers' with you everywhere you go? Companies, banks, universities and government agencies can't even safeguard our Social Security numbers in this day and age. What makes you think elections will be honest with an ID card?
Unless you want all Americans to go get US passports - $90 a copy, plus 2 photos. The current waiting time is about 6 weeks. If you require all adults to get one, that could take 6 months. And there is NO guarantee that a passport will be provided by the US Dept of State - lots of people will never get one.
The problem with voting is NOT illegal voters. The problem is that voter rolls are full of errors - they are not cross-checked and updated with other identifiers, and not purged of people who have moved or died.
Not to mention states like Florida, which routinely purge legitimate voter names, mistakenly ID'ed as felons, hames purchased from 3rd party "criminal background" database suppliers which have safeguards and cross-checks for any kind of accuracy. Good old capitalism. If a buck can be made with no quality control, so much the better.
No wonder our voting system is terribly broken. A banana republic has more security and accuracy than some of our states.

Absolutely!
I agree with Kimberly - no drivers licenses that are too easy to fake. I want a voter ID card issued by the federal government.
The Democrats don't want it because they've been using holes in the system to cheat for decades. If they were really honest and up-front, they'd want it as badly as the rest of us do. Their adamant opposition proves to me that they cheat.
Let's make the card free to everyone who is under 300% of the poverty level. That way they can't say that someone can't vote because they can't afford the fee for the card.

Of course not. If we did that, then Osama could not come vote for the Democrats. It is the right of every human being in the world, no matter what country they are a citizen of, to vote as many times as they want in U.S. elections. That's the only way Democrats can win.
Vote illegal, vote often, vote Democrat.

Do not matter the elections get determined by the electoral vote anyway.Mostly conducted in universities or other such type of established facilities. the bad thing about it, is most hard working Americans that have to deal with working two jobs to pay medical bills and gasoline do not count.
Every time i have voted I have always presented my voter reg. and pic. i.d.

I don't know where you vote, but where *I* vote, I have to show my driver's license to prove identity and residence, before I head out to the booth and get my "I Voted Today!" sticker.

YES!!!!!!!!!
And the Democrats don't care if illegals and dead people vote for them. They need all the votes they can get, I guess.

Yes, we should. No just drivers licenses. We need vote id cards.

Yes!
Because failure to make sure that only legal voters vote, that effectively disfranchises me and my vote.
Only citizens legally entitled to vote should be allowed to vote, and should have to proved who they are to vote.
Because at some time, they had to have shown ID somewhere to have gotten registered to vote, no?

Are you aware the your entire election system is a doubt? Do you know about the investigations of fraud against your present president? I mean, you can feel you are secure, but you are not, everything is a parade in your politics, and you chose to believe it.
