It is not a Dem / Repub issue. It is a Constitutional issue. Can you deny a citizen their Constitutional right to vote, because they do not have a national id card? In Florida they ask for DL, and I am ok with that, but there is that matter of constitution. I think this whole thing is being pushed for in order to force everyone to take a national id card.
I agree once more if people have to pay for id's to vote that is an unconstitutional poll tax.

You have to have ID for just about everything in life. What is stopping these people from getting at least a non-DL from DMV? It is not an unconstitutional poll tax, you either play by the rules or go home.
I can't understand why the democrats are ALWAYS opposed to voter ID bills....well, that's not completely true.....they don't like the laws because it cuts down on voter fraud.

If you have to pay a fee to get an ID and that ID is required to vote its a poll tax, because you have to pay a fee to vote and that is against the 24th amendment. Now if they made IDs free that would not be an issue.

Oh please, you are not paying to vote. Stop with the over emotional nonsense. If they don't have ID, they can't even register to vote, so in the end they can't vote anyway.

I check articles related to this, in Wisconson if you can display lack of financial means the state will supply the I.D. for free.
This WI voter ID bill will also affect citizens of rural WI who tend to vote republican.

The proposed voter ID bill making its way through the state legislature will disenfranchise an untold number of rural citizens without a readily accessible Department of Motor Vehicles service center.
Quote:
As currently written, SB 6 requires a voter to present either a state issued driver license or ID card, or a military ID at the polls in order to vote. The state issued forms of identification are available only at DMV service centers. Currently three Wisconsin counties lack any DMV service center, and many of the rural centers are open only a few days per month.

You can register to vote with a utility bill, W2, birth certificate or tax bill. You don't need to buy an ID to vote at least not in most states.
