Voter ID advances to House floor

Kirk says:  "State I.D. cards are VERY easy to obtain in Minnesota."

Tell me again then what good they are for voter ID.

Systematic disenfranchisement of those serving in our military has been practiced by some in the democrat party for years.  In the extremely close 2000 presidential election, the Gore campaign and its lawyers attempted to steal the presidential contest by disenfranchising Florida military voters with hyper technicalities.   (remember that)

Six million American citizens abroad were qualified to vote in the 2008 Presidential election. It is estimated that one-fourth of all military votes were not counted. At least, 98,000 lost military ballots were mailed back to the U.S. but not counted.   (remember that) 

The Democrats have had endless attempts to disenfranchise military voters in the past ten years and this has been well documented.  They claim technicalities to throw out military votes.

Hell, even Adolph Hitler and Mickey Mouse votes was counted in a recent recall petition. 

Must be the political affiliation of the fictitious voter... 

Let's all agree on one thing.  People who cannot get a valid ID are Illegal Immigrants.  FACT.

And for those of you who are against this amendment, can I ask you one thing?  If requiring a photo ID to vote is so "wrong" in your minds, then, according to your logic, we should not require a photo ID for purchasing a firearm.  Because if requiring a photo ID "disenfranchises" certain people from voting (a Constitutional Right), then requiring a photo ID would also disenfranchise certain people from buying a firearm (a Constitutional Right).

And I am VERY sure that ALL of you would have peace of mind knowing that anyone....ANYONE.... could purchase a firearm without any ID at all.  See how your logic works?    

"They're worried that could mean absentee voters or military personnel might be kept from voting if they can't somehow show a photo ID" Last I checked it's pretty damn hard to get in a military installation or base without your issued military ID. So that takes care of the military part, and in order to be absentee I would assume you would have needed a photo ID to fly somewhere, a passport if you are outside of the USA, or a driver's license to have driven somewhere. 

I think they are worried about something else, like the same bus full of people showing up at 20 different voting centers suddenly getting busted.

There are like 11 states that require Photo ID to vote.What, didn't your media tell you that?

Hmm, that just poses the question; have you been brainwashed, or are you just dumb?

You need an ID to drive, you need an ID to cash a check, you need an ID to purchase alcohol or tabacco products, you need an ID to get on a plane. 

I'd like to know who are these people who don't have ID's?  If they can't get their act together to get an ID - they're too dumb to vote!

The headline should be:"Democrats don't like democracy!!!!"or"Democrats don't want the voter to have a vote!!!!"

It's plain and simple; Democrats in the house and senate don't want the poor to have state ID cards.  The Republican's bill would buy EVERYONE a State photo ID cardI mean, can you think of a better way to keep someone down?  Deny them a basic piece of identity.  

"on a vote to suppress voting, it's interesting you're suppressing debate." When they can't deflect, they surpress. It's the Pubby code!!!

Of course Republicans aren't interested in electronic poll books. It would solve the alleged impersonation problem without disenfranchising anyone who can't get a photo ID. Disenfranchisement apparently is a feature, not a bug. So let's lock 20th century technology into the constitution.
