ORIGINAL: itsSIRtou so? knock off as many voters as u can and hope your rabble shows up. All GOP wants is the implementation of photo IDs. It seems normal and in reasonable in my country. But of course our government makes sure EVERYBODY has a FREE photo ID too. I don't know why the dems are soo against photo IDs. Just work together giving ALL legit citizens one! And there is a simple solution to reach out to poor, homeless, elderly who can't travel. Go door to door and knock and help them! Employ social workers to do this! And get their photo ID done! The problem is not they are against photo ID's, in fact if you had read statements the statements from those allegedly against photo ID you would understand the problem. The problem is that the states which passed these laws (and over turned by a predominately republican appointed supreme court as unconstitutional) is that the requirements to get state issue photo ID's exceeded the requirements set by the federal government for a passport, thus making the laws unconstitutional. Some states even required a current US passport as proof of citizenship, and the laws went into effect at such a time as to make it impossible to get a current passport prior to the deadline for registration. Now, if a predominantly conservative (i.e Republican US Supreme Court) over turns the photo ID laws as unconstitutional, then you have to admit there is a problem with the law. However, since you are not an American citizen, and refuse to educate yourself on the problems with the laws, and the history of such laws in the US (google Jim Crow laws) then not only are you NOT qualified to pass judgement on anyone having a problem with the laws, but you have no qualifications to pass judgement on any part of the election process. It might also benefit you to know that in the recent cases of alleged voter fraud and vote tampering, the biggest cause of these cases involved not the democrats perpetrating the fraud, but Republicans. The Al Gore/Bush election is a good example. You mentioned that your country insures everyone has a free photo ID, well so do some states just for elections. Some states offered the 'voter ID's' but made proving citizenship for minorities (namely Hispanics) almost impossible, put the hours when you could get the ID's at inconvenient times or hard to reach locations (Texas was a good example.) In Texas, the only place you could get the ID was in a state Driver's license office, something not every town had, and thus, if you had no personal transportation, you were effectively screwed. That was the basis for the case filed in US Federal court against the law. When the law was introduced, Democrats tried unsuccessfully to make the ID's available at county court houses or city halls or the local post office. The law was over turned as unconstitutional by the US supreme court. Of course, the legality of such laws seems to mean little or nothing to you and indeed, many US citizens who support these unconstitutional requirements. But of course, you are proving my point that what brain cells you have do not work toward intelligent thought, and considering your posts concerning sex, seem to be preoccupied with that endeavor rather than education.
