I believe it's democrats stopping the voter ID program, as they (1) think blacks are too stupid too get a voter ID, so it's a burden to them, or voter suppression, and (2) they want illegals to be able to vote.

You are completely spinning this to suit your agenda.
No one said anyone is too stupid to get an ID card. Not everyone has the resources to get an ID.
No one says they want illegals to vote.
Statements like this are so out of hand it is ridiculous.
Oh come on, just because they CAN vote does not mean they DO vote.
how do you believe they register to vote?
in CA a regular driver's license/CA ID card ( not an AB-60 ) and social security number is required to register to vote ( if you do not have one or both of those there are other ways to show eligibility but it has to be done in person ).
Offensive much? No Democrat I know thinks that way.
Now President Bannon has said that only people who own property should be able to vote, so we'll see how far they go with voter suppression in this administration.
You must live in a cave. I know plenty of Democrats that don't talk like you think they do.
And I agree; only property owners (property tax payers) have a vested interest in making policy. They have skin in the game.
Ever heard the phrase? LOL
There is no doubt that voter fraud goes on but in the millions I doubt it but who really knows.
It is not only illegals but also citizens that have residence in 2 states like college students etc..
I don't know why we can't have voter ID laws. We have to show a photo ID for most things today. The last time I bought Nyquil at Walmart I had to show my drivers license. So why can't we require a photo ID when voting. Why do the Dems oppose this so much?
I agree with you: over a mil is a lot. As for the 2 states; we had lived here in AR for about 6 years before the state of NM had taken us off the registered voter info. We could easily voted in both states.

So you think only property owners should be allowed to vote? Policy doesn't affect all Americans?

I think we should vote via fingerprint.
Everyone has those. People who've been disfigured or do not have arms could have special circumstances, but this would cover most voters.
I think Australia does this.
Also, provide ID for all US citizens for free. They send out SS cards, why not ID cards?
This should not be so damned complicated.

US has had a long history of rejecting any form of national ID. The claim is too much power and information to the Feds. It has been a hard core Right Wing issue for decades. The left has often opposed it as well. The authors of the 1986 immigration reform legislation cite this resistance as one of the major reasons that act turned out so badly.
So it is not new nor an easily handled issue. Basic rights to be free of government interference are involved.
Relatively simple analysis comparing voting statistics and demographics would reveal illegal voting. They don't. In fact high immigrant areas vote low.

I have ID issued by Texas, so I don't require another one.
