Some laws are written, deliberately, to make it harder for certain classes of people to be able to exercise their voting rights.

Remember the poll tax?

What does a poll tax have to do with proving you are the person you claim to be?

Most illegal votes will go to Democrats. They want all the votes they can get.

I'll bet my bottom dollar most felons would vote Democrat.

Here in the Triangle, Obama's campaign workers made sure to canvass the jails & prisons for the con vote.

If the government requires everybody to have an ID then they should pay for everybody to have an ID.

If the gov passed legislation that covered the cost of a gov. issued photo ID for those who couldn't afford them would you support photo voter ID legislation for all elections?

New Orleans has an old joke about this. Know why the bodies are buried above ground? That's to make it easier for the dead to go vote. New Orleans, Democratic party ruled for many decades.

Democrats are dirty rotten little thugs that don't play by the rules. Making people prove they are who they say they are at the ballot box makes it harder for them to screw the system in their favor.

Come on JazzyTall, I have a good picture ID with my driver's license. Why should the state pay for that? Those who don't drive maybe, but those who do can use that ID.
