Voter ID laws.

[dezfan]

For or against?

[rock hard]

I have to show id for far less imporortans things....I totally support people proving they have a legal right to vote by showing id

[JeremyH]

Are the citizens of this country not required to produce ID at any time when out in public? Why would it be any different at a polling center?

[GySgt Hartman]

Absolutely for it!

I don't understand where the arguments against come from, certainly not the reality I live in...

[dezfan]

Exactly! need to write a check, need ID, want to buy alcohol, need ID, want a pack of smokes, need ID, want to enter the Justice Department, need ID.

Yet voter ID laws are being called "racist" ?

I was unaware that there was a particular race that had a problem obtaining a US issued ID.

[Duuuuuuuude]

For. It's not that damn hard to have some form of proper i.d.

[dezfan]

Does anything else need to be said?

[Mr.Slave]

I dont want no damn government to know who i voted for.

So you're in favor of voter fraud?

BTW, since you might not be familiar with the proposed regulation, the showing of the ID would not be used to track, merely a visual inspection be the polling worker.

proving who you are in order to vote, does not mean people will know how or who you voted for.

It is a little more difficult for the millions of illegal immigrants.

For photo ID to vote.

No. A cop can come up and ask to see your ID and you are not required by law to show it to them.

If they have a valid reason to see it then they will just take you into custody until they can ID you...

Its not about the ID at that point, its about resisting, delaying or obstructing an officer performing his duties.

[Big Daddy]

I really can't fathom why there is so much resistance to these laws... unless you are counting on fraudulent votes to get you or your party into office.

I haven't heard one good reason to not show your ID.

for. my area is quite low in population, but i still see nothing wrong with showing an id to vote. around here, it will probably be lax on enforcement, everyone knows everybody in the township. the fact remains that areas like mine are slowly but surely getting wiped off the map, and the higher population should warrant higher security on something like voting. its not like they're forcing you to sign the ballot you hand in, just pop out the id.

They can make up any BS story they want. That doesn't mean it will hold up in a court of law and their department will not be paying out a settlement. Know your state laws.

So for it, I agree with the above statement about having to show I.D. For everything else.
