You absolutely should show ID, its too easy for someone to use their dead cousins voter card.

yeah, cause people are SO desperate to go and vote

24 cases in 12 years,,,an epidemic...

I don't trust your numbers, but whatever it is should be 0! If you are not legal to vote you shouldn't be doing it. I'm done with this and won't be back, enjoy.

yep, you 'shouldnt',, but we wouldnt have jails if we could stop people from doing what they 'shouldnt' with laws

the numbers cant possibly be much lower just because people bring ids to the polls,, ids are easy to fake,,,

What happens when a person moves from their voting district then?
What happens when a person loses their election card?
Like I said have a fingerprint machine where you vote. When you register they take your fingerprints. When an election comes around they scan your fingerprints and if you are in the database you get your ballot and vote.

Here are some excerpts from a GREAT ARTICLE from the AMERICAN THINKER titled "VOTER FRAUD FOR THE COMPLETE IDIOT".........


"Voter registration in America is backward and not worthy of a great nation. And despite the fact that registration involves very little information, registrars do not verify the most important requirement for voting in America -- citizenship."


"Part of the controversy over "voter fraud," which progressives downplay as voter impersonation, is the term itself. Folks concerned about the integrity of our elections should start using the more inclusive term "election fraud," which includes voter fraud, registration fraud, and other types of fraud, such as fraud committed by election officials."


"Republicans don't know precisely how much voter fraud actually occurs -- but then, neither does anyone else. However, voter fraud occurs more frequently than progressives would have us believe"


Progressives allege that new voter ID requirements are meant to suppress turnout, especially of "the wrong kind of people," as the Doonesbury cartoon puts it. But the progressives' resistance to even the most basic safeguards is an attempt to keep elections open to theft. Progressives don't care about the integrity of elections; they just want to win, by whatever means necessary.


America is fast approaching what some think is the most important election in our lives, an election that will determine what kind of nation we are going to be. And yet we come to this critical decision with election systems that can be gamed.

Good post!

Blurring the issue with "disenfranchisement issues" is just a smokescreen. The real issue is that the stage has been set for millions of people to vote illegally and actually change the outcome of upcoming national elections and the Democrats are using every tactic possible to allow the illegal votes because they know the vast majority of those votes will go towards the welfare state candidate.

estimated 1.8 million to 2.7 million non-citizen immigrants in the United States may be illegally registered to vote and over 300,000 of them are from Texas,

The liberals make any argument, no matter the facts, to allow votes for their candidates.

You have capsuled the entire issue with the truth Joe....I am sick of the whinning about how an HONEST election is not fair to the poor, the elderly, the Hispanics, the minorities.....If you want to vote in my country, show your citizenship papers and smile for the camera!....Same thing goes if you want to live here too....

You people are acting like your vote actualy counts.

Al Gore won the popular vote in 2000 yet we got scammed and got Bush by the electoral collage.


The real argument is why we even bother voteing at all.

You people?

For your reading pleasure Best...

IV. Does my vote count?

Yes, your vote counts. Some people have complained since 2000 that if the winner of the popular vote doesn't become president, their vote doesn't really count, so why vote at all? But every vote does count; it just counts in a more complicated way. When you vote for president, remember that you're voting in a state election, not a national election. So your vote counts just as much as anyone else's in your state — but it may count more or less than that of someone living in another state!

What's a vote worth?
Why does the actual weight of your vote vary by state? Remember that every state gets a number of electors that is the total of all of its representatives in Congress, both in the House of Representatives and in the Senate. The House of Representatives is divided approximately by population — big states have the most representatives, small states have the fewest — but every state has exactly two senators, regardless of size. That means that while big states have more electors than small states, they don't have as many more as they would based on population alone.

Consider three states: California (the state with the biggest population), North Carolina (a medium-sized state), and Alaska (with one of the smallest populations). This table shows their population and number of electoral votes in 2000. The fourth column shows the number of residents per elector (population divided by electoral votes), and the last column shows the weight of an individual vote in the given state — that is, how the number of residents per elector compares to the national average.

In this order: State, Population, Electoral votes, Residents per elector, Weight of vote
California
33,871,648
54
627,253
0.83
North Carolina
8,049,313
14
574,951
0.91
Alaska
626,932
3
208,977
2.50
United States
281,421,906
538
523,089
1.00
As you can see, Alaska, a very small state, has far fewer residents per electoral vote than the national average, so individual votes cast in Alaska count more than the national average — twice as much, in fact! A voter in California has a little less influence than the average American, about 83% as much. A voter in North Carolina has about 91% the influence of the average American. (You can calculate weight of vote in a given state by dividing the national average of residents per elector by that state's residents per elector. Since we're comparing each state to the national average, the weight of vote for the entire United States is exactly 1. Don't get it? Read more about the math.)

Nominee

George W. Bush 50,456,002

Al Gore 50,999,897


If only the popular vote counted we never would have experienced the Bush disaster years.

The "Carbon Billionaire".......

PA has enacted this law for the November Election and there is no cost to get a state issued photo ID

I am fairly sure if the popular vote counted we would have been far better off under Gore.

Nothing wrong with less pollution better gas millage etc etc.

We wouldnt have had the Halliburton henchmen creating policy eh?

I doubt he would have allowed 911 to happen and we wouldnt be on course for this police state we are creating for ourselves.

My clothes are out of the dryer heading out for a day of fun and sun at a nature preserve.

While enjoying the public lands I will be glad a liberal set them aside for all to enjoy.

A lot of states, like Texas, have enacted similar laws for free Voting IDs.

I doubt he would have allowed 911 to happen What, he couldn't even keep two people from crashing a political dinner party.

Actually, Republican Theodore Roosevelt, takes major credit for the setting aside of public lands for future public use. He was known as a progressive, but not a liberal. He was known for the "square deal" meaning fairness to all and is considered one of the greatest US presidents and one of the greatest leaders of the conservation movement.
