Any ID can be fake, but we require them anyway for almost everything in life except voting.

What laws are "written against the 1st and 2nd amendments?"

Voters are leaving main parties in droves

"Registered Democrats still dominate the political playing field with more than 42 million voters, compared to 30 million Republicans and 24 million independents. But Democrats have lost the most — 1.7 million, or 3.9%, from 2008."

which is why i didn't hinge that entire post on that simple statement. it was just pointing out the huge hole in the argument that IDs will somehow prevent the voter fraud that goes on..when the fraud that goes on all happens behind the scenes, more or less.

And you can say that about any activity that requires an ID. So using your logic, we shouldn't have drivers licenses.

We have the right to know the person voting is who they say they are.
We identify people behind the wheel with drivers licenses.
Supposedly everyone has an SS#.

There should be no right IMO to commit fraud in the vote.
I also hear again this year the Democrats are doing what they can to block the military vote.
