In Florida during Storms or Hurricanes, home owners need to show a valid photo ID to obtain a free sand bag.

Since Democrats are so adamant that voter fraud doesn't exist or not on a large scale than what is the issue with mandatory ID's to be shown.

Provide different ID's for people with low income so everyone can have an ID. If you are homeless you can't vote as you need an address where mail is received to prove who you are unless a homeless person has prove of a birth certificate and who they are.

Anyone against it is in favor of fraud!

Problem is that most fraud happens with absentee ballots. In person fraud is very rare. If you want to stop fraud then any Republican should be in favor of more stringent methods to tamp down on absentee ballot fraud . Wonder why they don't? Might be because old and whiter voters disproportionally vote by absentee ballot.

This might have something to do with it:

"old and Whiter voters" ? Could their vote traditionally be for Republicans because they see Democrats as a danger and they want to return to the days of prosperity?



I am all for showing an ID when voting.

One would think that with all the technology we have we should be able to stop voter fraud.

Yes, but considering your praise for Hitler's "early successes" in the other thread*... you are probably all for certain groups of Americans having to wear identifying letters sewn on their clothing.

In Florida, you have to show photo & signature ID to vote in-person.

It is the right of citizens to vote, yet we show no proof of citizenship
It is the right of the people to keep & bear arms, but we have to show an ID and jump through hoops, to prove citizenship, when citizenship isn't even a requirement.

Isn't that backwards?

Well that's unconstitutional for starters.

First of all its less than clear that the fraud that does exist would be solved by IDs.

Why don't the states that insist on strict IDs provide the IDs at the time the voter registers? If they don't do this then clearly they are more concerned with voter suppression than voter fraud.
