can we implement the same Voter ID laws for Gun control then?
No, ID for both voting and guns is equally stupid.
Isn't their word good enough??? I mean, no one would lie about who they are, would they?
Whats remarkable about conservatives is they seem to have never heard of something called: voter registration. One documents whom he is when he registers to vote, likely with a birth certificate or photo ID, depending on the states laws.
When one goes to vote he tells a poll worker his name. The poll worker then locates the voters name in the registration log. If ones name is not listed, he does not vote.
If the voter believes there is an error, he may request a provisional ballot. Poll workers must inform the voter of the provisional ballot option if the voter is not listed in the registration log and the voter believes he is entitled to vote anyway. The provisional ballot is not counted if election officials are unable to determine the voter is indeed registered.
This is why providing a photo ID every time one votes is unnecessary and why such fraud is nonexistent.
Consequently, there is only a partisan motive to require a photo ID whenever one votes.
Funny how you need an ID to: Drive a car, get a job, cash a check, legally transfer properties, get a mortgage, get a passport, buy alcohol, buy cigarettes, get any form of additional ID that proves who you are...
Its not funny at all voting is a fundamental right, the above are not.
Papers, Please! The authoritarian conservative is the greatest threat to our civil liberties.
