An October, 2006 Washington Post article pretty much sums the problem as well as the reason that some object to more strict Voter ID requirements.

Like the Georgia law, the federal legislation would almost certainly be challenged in court. A coalition of interest and civil rights groups, including the NAACP, AARP, and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, denounced the bill yesterday, saying it would disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of minority and elderly voters.

But there's a reason that Democrat partisans are more interested in raising the specter of Jim Crow than in protecting the integrity of the voting process. And here's a clue: While the Missouri Supreme Court was preparing its decision earlier this month, the Kansas City Star and St. Louis Post-Dispatch ran front-page stories about the thousands of fraudulent voter registrations submitted by Acorn, a national left-wing group financed in part by organized labor.

Unsure - Beer and tabacco should be regulated (ID required) but voting shouldn't? Faulty logic indeed.

Because liberals want their welfare bum constituents to be able to vote early and often, even if they are not registered, nor qualified to vote.

First of all, Voting is a RIGHT and anyone should be ablel to vote, as long as they're over 18, plus, dont' forget that you have to be register to vote, before you can either vote. Secondly, I don't know if the reasons are due to race.

I don't ever get id when going to an r rated movie,
or when I've entered a federal building.

To rent a movie, they need your financial info, otherwise, how can they be sure you'll pay, so they need to make sure you are who you claim to be, and to buy beer and cigarretes, well that is due to those being regulated, so, you must show id in order to comply with the law.

In other words, your analogy is NOT purely logical.


There we go, I don't think you read...

I said ANALOGY. to smoeke and drink is a CHOICE and it must be done by an adult. Voting is also a choice, but most than anything an oblication to your country and a RIGHT. I'm not saying you don't need an ID to vote, but then again, they already have your information when you register, so...Licor stores don't have your information when you buy or do they?

I too wonder how it must feel to be axed by a government worker. Frankly, the only gov't folks I've ever seen carrying axes were Forestry Service workers...

I don't understand this question.

I'm not a liberal or a conservative, I consider my views slightly of both, but more often they tend to shift to the liberal side.

I have never heard of any of this being called racist.

Libs don't think that. You must be thinking of anarchists....

Axing for an ID wouldn't be racist, but it probably would be considered murder.

I think it's a bad idea to "axe" anyone. Murder is a felony in all states.
