No ID? Well, You Can't Buy Those Cigarettes, But You Can Vote

83% of Americans polled believe that you should have to have a photo ID with you to prove who you are before you vote. The overwhelming majority of Americans recognize this is a simple enough act to prevent massive voter fraud.

Additionally, 91% believe you should have to provide a photo ID or Social Security Number to prove who you say you are before you can register to vote.

Of course, none of this matters to the Democrats (or ACORN).

The only question is why 9% don’t think this is a good idea. It’s a no-brainer. You have to show more ID to get a fishing license than to register and cast a vote. In fact, here are some other things harder to do than cast a vote in an election.

Get a drivers license
Take the SAT or ACT
Cash a check
Get a Best Buy credit account
Purchase a BB gun
Rent a car
Board a plane or buy a ticket
Buy a drink
Buy cigarettes

Should I go on? Actually, the only thing that is actually easier than voting is coming into the country. Funny how that works.

Wait Till They Begin Registering Martians

Neal Boortz has a great idea – take all the people who were taken by surprise over the conversion to digital TV and remove them from voting registration rolls.

I could not agree more. This could be a great idea - let's find other ways to clean out the voter rolls.

Sadly, it won't work. Restrictions mean nothing to lefties, who have already shown they can work around them. Things like you have to live where you vote, you have to be alive, you have to be a real person, you have to be a citizen, etc.

To most of us, those are restrictions. To lefties, they are merely suggestions.

I Guess They Figure It's Better To Dilute A True Vote Than To Not Count A Fake One

The Obama Department of Justice has rejected a program put together by Georgia’s Secretary of State (a Republican) that would search through voter registration rolls, looking for people who are ineligible because they are not US citizens.

The DOJ says the program is racist and discriminatory, saying “applicants who are Hispanic, Asian or African-American are more likely than white applicants, to statistically significant degrees, to be flagged for additional scrutiny.”

The Secretary of State responded with, “With this decision, DOJ has now barred Georgia from continuing the citizenship verification program that DOJ lawyers helped to craft. DOJ’s decision also nullifies the orders of two federal courts directing Georgia to implement the procedure for the 2008 general election…DOJ has thrown open the door for activist organizations such as ACORN to register non-citizens to vote in Georgia’s elections, and the state has no ability to verify an applicant’s citizenship status or whether the individual even exists…. Clearly, politics took priority over common sense and good public policy.”

The courts ordered that the state implement this procedure to help fight voter fraud.

The DOJ lawyers (pre-Obama) helped craft the program.

The DOJ Obama political appointees have decided that if you try to eliminate people from voter registration rolls because they are illegally registered because they fail the most basic requirement – US Citizenship – and more people who are found to fail that requirement are minorities, then the program is obviously discriminatory.

Surely, you would think they could find all those white people from Denmark, Finland, and Australia who are illegally registering to vote. Surely, there can’t be more people who are black or Hispanic who are illegal aliens who somehow wind up on the registration rolls. Perish the thought (and don't call me Shirley).

The reason that Georgia had to get the DOJ's permission to enact this program is due to the Voting Rights Act, passed decades ago to address wrongs from the Jim Crow era. When you look at the voting fraud in recent years in Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Indiana, Ohio, and other northern areas, and you consider that ACORN is nationwide in its scam to elect lefties, it's readily apparent that this law is overdue for filing in the round file.

Your vote counts less when illegal votes are allowed to dilute the results. That’s never bothered lefties, as most voting fraud incidents involve votes for Democrats.

I understand why illegal aliens vote for lefties, but why do dead people and imaginary people always vote for lefties?
