It would be nice to see state officals who are pushing for ID laws to also start a push to help people who don't have valid ID, get it.
No. I posted something after perhaps you did.
Move ahead to 2016. Four years to see that all eligible voters have I.D.
If it's provided at taxpayer's expense how does it supppress the poor? Once you have it..you have it.
If you don't bring it on Election day, then yes, too bad..you don't vote. Go home and get it.
I'm trying to keep this debate real simple.
It's not once you have it you have it, as IDs expire, people change address, get married, change their name, etc.
However I think giving ample time, ie enacting laws now that will effect the 2016 election, would be more fair. I also think we need vote reform, and that most of the real fraud isn't effected by voter ID and that that's where our focus needs to be.
It's a first, you and I agree. As I said on another thread, minds greater than mine can work out the mechanics.
It doesn't seem unreasonable for all voters to have I.D. by the next cycle.
If you move, divorce, change address etc., and there is a system in place to deal with it and you don't avail yourself to it....too bad.... you don't get to vote until you correct it.
Seems simple!
