Given the extreme limitations a person has these days if he or she has no photo ID. . . .
Given the very small number of individuals who could not afford a photo ID and the very easy remedy all states can make by providing a photo ID to the truly indigent. . . .
Given the very real advantages to people to have a photo ID. . . .
And given the very real increased confidence in the system that is accomplished by a voter ID requirement. . . .
The ONLY reason anybody could object to voter ID is because it makes it more difficult for people to vote illegally.
A fair and honest election is so necessary for people to be free that I think all who are truly concerned about preserving freedom through a responsible and responsive government would not WANT anybody voting who had to be paid or coerced or bribed or manipulated to vote. And we should want the system to be as fair and honest as possible.
