Could someone give me a really good reason why voter ID is a bad idea? I have never heard one argument that holds any water. Anyone can get an government ID. All you have to do is go to the DMV> and don't say, for some it is too far. We live in a somewhat rural area; our closest DMV is about 20 miles away. Almost anyone can find someone willing to help them get an ID. My husband doesn't drive anymore, but he did get his license renewed on his birthday. the only reason: for Id purposes.
If the people who shout the loudest about inequality were truly concerned about equal access to all voters, they would organize a volunteer program to assist those unable to get a photo ID for whatever reason.
The democrat party never has a problem taking car loads of people to the polls on election day, or having their street forces passing out a few bucks on election day** to encourage people to vote, but apparently they are incapable of assisting the same people with something that they claim is "keeping them down" and penalizing these people.
This is THE most hypocritical protest the democrats have ever made in an effort to keep corruption at the polls alive. There is absolutely NO valid argument against Voter ID and the proof is that democrats refuse to actually HELP the people they claim they seek to protect, by assisting them in getting ID's if they are not capable of doing so for whatever reason!
Millions of people are seeing for the first time what you describe and they want a voice that counts with their votes. We have a democratic system and a process that is designed to undermine it.
And how many years have you been an active grass roots volunteer in your local political party?
We do not have a DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM. We are a REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC.
Geez, if you wish to argue the merits of the political party system, at least KNOW wth you are talking about!
It's an effort at voter suppression which we saw the legislator say on television.
When my 92 y/o father couldn't use his military ID - it pi$$ed him off. And he was a strong Republican.
When college kids can't use their student photo ID's theres a problem.
Then why didn't YOU make sure your father had the necessary ID to ensure that he could vote? If I were him, I would be upset to, knowing that illegals get away with voting and are not even citizens!!
As for college kids, if they do not have a DL, then they can still get a State ID card that makes them eligible to vote in the state in which they live. If a college student is too stupid to figure that out, then it is better for the country that they CAN'T vote!
Excuse me? It would appear this issue plagues both parties and at the moment it looks to be far larger problem for the Democrats.
Problem, what problem?
We can't help that interlopers/independents don't understand the same rules that have been in place since 1984. We don't have candidates running from one delegation to another bartering over votes or a open and ugly campaign by the DNC to keep anyone from winning or losing the nomination.

I have a military ID and I can't use it to vote. Couldn't in any state I have lived in that uses IDs for voting. The ID must have the voter's address on it to prove that they are who they say they are and that they have the right to vote in that precinct.
In CO, delegates were elected to the NRC and all the elected delegates were pledged to Cruz. That indeed qualifies as winning (and by winning, I mean a shellacking) by Cruz.
How can you win something, when there apparently was no contest?
They don't call him Lyin' Ted Cruz for nothing. He earned those stripes.
