.....so you can't answer the question?

Not really. I've never shown my photo ID to vote. How is this logically happening?

Miss Cleo is that you? Reading the hearts and minds of people who support photo IDs like the ones that much of the world including Western Europe has?

I registered to vote when I got my photo ID. in order to get my photo ID, I was given a full body cavity search.

Nope. North Carolina had the highest minority turnout ever in 2008. They immediately went for the voter ID laws. Why all of a sudden was voter fraud such a concern? (who won NC in 2008?)

Democrats:

-Photo IDs, even when given out for free are disenfranchising.

-Unions must hold public votes so that they can be held accountable for their vote.

Can't answer any of the questions?

Prove to us that photo IDs prevent voter fraud. They currently aren't required in 42 out of 50 states. About half of states "suggest" a photo ID, or require a non-photo ID. Obviously most states agree with me.

So in other words you are reading the minds of North Carolina legislators that in 2013, they passed Photo ID laws, because they wanted to disenfranchise blacks due to a high 2008 turnout, by making all races show IDs?

There's your problem. A person needs ID to write a check, go to the doctor, buy a home, buy insurance, buy anything on credit, pick up certified mail, buy a car or a gun from a dealer, buy alcohol, cigs, or even antihistamines, and register to vote. I even now have to give my ID at my bank to MAKE a deposit! Yet somehow, it tramples on a person's rights to produce one to vote. That is patently ridiculous. And requiring all races to show IDs is hardly racist, since there are poor people of every race. We are an equal opportunity broke nation.
