How dare they take away the rights of dead people, illegal aliens, dogs, cats, and ficticious people from voting (numerous times)! Stealing votes is a liberal gig, and they won't stand for it! The triple L's (Liberal, Left and Looney) are getting crazier by the minute.
Read the stats...not the propaganda. The stats show that the voter fraud problem is actually non existent.

Study finds voter fraud nearly nonexistent - kwch.com

Which makes voter fraud the most trumped up 'issue" this election.
I addressed rediculousness with sarcasm. It's being trumped up by both sides. You DO GET THAT, right?

I do understand both sides are trumping up this ridiculous non-issue.

The fact remains is, while I don't believe voter ID will cause as much voter suppression as one side claims it will (although I do believe that it will cause some issues in that category), I also don't believe the other side is implementing voter IDs to combat voter fraud, which quite honestly, is so minimal it might as well not exist.

You made rediculous statements, and these links don't resolve that. There maybe a small bit of voter fraud, and that's incidental. There's also laws against it and upholding those laws is not "stealing an election"

It say's a whole lot about character when someone argues FOR VOTER FRAUD

Virtual is not 100%. What is wrong with making it 100%?

Why is it the people that the Libs have to take a bus to pick up and take to the polls that have the problem with IDs? If they can "Get out the Vote", why can't they "Get the Voters to the DMV"?

I'm glad I am not registered as a Democrat. I would be PO'd at all the other Dems saying I am too dumb or decrepit to manage to get an ID so I can vote.

Do you see how rediculous this is? Are they only requiring democrats to be ID'd? If this is the case then I'll get up on the soap box with sickofnyc... but this is rediculous on so many levels. These arguements are becoming so petty between the party liners. It's sickening.

I just said I do.

It's about as ridiculous as Christians crying about being oppressed.

And that comparison was necessary why? Oh wait, pettiness when agreement is too hard to swallow by itself. Forgive me for thinking there was another adult in the room.
