My apologies rumraider. I must be full of all the bs happening here over the last few days.

I agree with your position, I don't vote party lines either. I don't patently believe what either of the big two parties put out.

i live in arkansas and they always ask for my ID. The lady checks my name off the list to make sure im registered then looks at my DL so i am not sure what cost teadubba is talking about. it isnt complicated.

Same here. I've lived across the street from the lady who checks my ID for the past 33 years. She checks my ID anyway, just like she checks everyone else's.

I'm neither offended nor am I inconvenienced in any way, and neither are all the other people in town she's on a first name basis with when she checks their ID's.

And no, we're not all WASP Republicans. Most of the folks around here are blue collar Democrats.

The 'purple finger' would eliminate the "vote often" crowd.

I want less laws not more. A law should have a compelling reason to exist. I've yet to see one in this regard.

I have no issue with requireing an id.... just don't see why the outcry for it right now.... there is no proof of a need at this point, and when that happens I always wonder if there is another reason for pushing something like this...... maybe its harmless *shrug*.

So we have to wait for election fraud before we implement a VERY SIMPLE law?

The truth is, we've got tens of millions of people in this country who do not belong. Requiring ID shouldn't be viewed as a "new law", but rather as an obvious and simple precaution.

The Red and Blue states shouldn't be overly concerned.
But as we've seen in FL, the purple states' electorates can be changed by a scant few hundred votes. Is it so unreasonable to suggest that this could be accomplished? Do we really have to wait for this to happen?

The reasons FOR this simple law far outweigh the reasons against. It's not even close.

+1!.......with one exception to your assertion tailgater. In NYS where I live, the state is considered a blue state because the area centered by New York City has slighly more people than upstate and they typically vote Democratic vs the well know trend of upstate being red. Last week Senator Schumer authored a bill to be presented to our legislature which would give financial aide to the 4 million illegal aliens documented to be in New York and in another story relating to Obama's backdoor enactment of the dream act it was stated that far and away the largest group of known illegals in NYS are in Manhattan. So in a state with a population of roughly 20 million legal residents, we now have a potential illegal voting block equal to 25% of our total populace and they clearly are a demographic beholden to the politics of the liberals. You'd better believe that I want tough voter ID laws! If even 25% of that 25% votes it is clearly enough to forever change the politics in NYS as well as the rest of the country given our number of our representatives in congress and the number of electoral college votes in a presidential election.
