Voter Fraud Has Got To Stop...But It Won't
Yes I know it hasn't been a requirement in our recent past, but the whole idea of having to show an identification card in order to vote is a good idea. I've even had it suggested to me that I must be of the mind-set that only white, middle and upper income people should be allowed to vote. I believe in no such thing, but I do believe we ought to make it more difficult....not easier...to vote in this country. It's disgraceful how few people bother to vote as it is, compared to other countries, and I bet it's safe to say a good percentage of those shouldn't vote. If only the well-informed were allowed to vote (regardless of any ID card) it would probably cut the voting population in half.
But here we go....the screamin' and yellin' begins.......requiring a photo ID to vote would disenfranchise minorities, the poor, the young and the elderly. Such comments are racist on their face. If minorities don't have a photo identification, knowing they needed one to vote, probably have no interest in voting. Same story with the elderly because there isn't a single state in the nation that wouldn't go out of its way to accommodate these people in some fashion. I remember when Georgia forced the required photo ID thing, the usual complaints started and Georgia promised.......at it's expense, it would drive you to the place for an ID and pay for the whole thing. They still complained......mainly because they didn't want to vote in the first place. The poor? I bet they've got an ID that will allow them to buy a beer or cash a welfare check! Young people? College kids? Guaranteed they've got a photo ID, even if it's a fake one to buy some booze, but that won't make a difference. They don't want to vote anyway and in most cases, they're far too stupid, or should I say ill-informed, to be allowed in a voting booth in the first place.
We all know where their anti-Photo ID thing is coming from....starting with the White House on down. Keep in mind that's all coming from a guy who hails from a city and state that epitomizes voter fraud in this country. I'll bet my last nickel that the community organizer from Chicago's, Illinois's South side knows full well how corrupt the system really is. Voting in this country is riddled by fraud, state-to-state-to-state, fact, and requiring a photo identification just may go a long way toward correcting some of it.
