I don't have an issue with an ID at first thought, but what else will you be required to use an ID for?
Gee, I dunno...
Cash a check
Buy beer
Rent an apartment
Check out a library book
Be admitted to a hospital
Get any kind of license
Get on an airplane
Do any banking
Drive a car
OK...I quit, the list is nearly infinite.

People voting illegally is not "significant" to you?

Yes I do need them, show me the "massive" numbers of people committing voter fraud.
Not one single instance has been shown in this entire thread.
Republicans are continually screaming about "massive" voter fraud but keep coming up with three or four people nation wide. That disproves the allegations of Republicans!!!
So now conservatives on this board are back tracking with the "even one case is too much".
No one stated that one case wasn't too much, but again it disproves the continual allegations made by Republicans of "massive" voter fraud.
Can you find anything other than Fox?
It's not like they're news (they sued to be not classified as news).
I guess you forgot about the aftermath & findings (mostly republicans on the panel) of the Minnesota vote.
http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmem...t_accurate.php “They claimed in November 2009 to have 800 additional individuals who were illegal felon voters,” Freeman said. “When they summited names to us in late February 2010, it was down to 451. We have processed that 451, and more than half of them were either not felons or not on probation when they voted.

The voter restriction efforts are purly political. In the long run, there is a need to establish a National Federal standard and the proper time taken, to put the standard into play.
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/10/op...ter-fraud.html None of these explanations are true. There is almost no voting fraud in America. And none of the lawmakers who claim there is have ever been able to document any but the most isolated cases. The only reason Republicans are passing these laws is to give themselves a political edge by suppressing Democratic votes.

[i]"What has happened this year is the most significant setback to voting rights in this country in a century," says Judith Browne-Dianis, who monitors barriers to voting as co-director of the Advancement Project, a civil rights organization based in Washington, D.C.
http://www.truthaboutfraud.org/pdf/TruthAboutVoterFraud.pdf (broken link) It is more likely that an individual will be struck by lightning than that he will impersonate another voter at the polls.
The third link provides a comprehensive document on voting and allegations of all types of fraud.
Let's just use the numbers for convictions.......that'll make it look REAL good on paper.
Oh wait, that's fraudulent too.
My bad.

Justify having no ID for the most responsibility related action as a citizen.
Im curious as to how anyone can LEGALLY exist in this country without a photo ID ?
Well it's getting harder to do with DHS and the War on (pick your enemy) and all that.
I had to show ID to buy a 50lb bag of fertilizer.
