Voter Reform
It's very important for yon reader to pay attention.
For as we walk softly through our lives we perform actions that require photo identification constantly. Should a cop stop our speeding vehicle, we must produce a driver's license with, guess what...a picture of our fine selves.
Debit cards required photo ID. Student ID's require a photo. There's an entire industry based on producing pictures for visas.
We're used to this sort of thing is what I'm saying here.
So why, what with that 2000 election and the many dead who vote across the land, is requiring a photo ID for voting the subject of such contention?
This is why we must pay attention. Pay attention to just who is fighting against such a requirement. A requirement that leaves those of us who vote just one time and are still alive shrugging our shoulders in acceptance.
In fact, I'm amazed that so far only seven states now require photo ID to vote. I note they are mostly red states.
I'll tell you who's going to protest against voter photo ID requirements. Count on Al Sharpton to throw up a fuss. This man makes a handsome living by delivering needed votes for whatever carpetbagger wants to be Senator from New York.
Jesse Jackson for sure. Jesse will even hire buses and port several hundred protesters to states daring to enact this common sense measure. They'll call it discrimination, a throwback to the days when African Americans had to fight snarling dogs to get at the voting booth. Though those same bus passengers likely often produce a photo ID for all manner of everyday transactions.
Pay attention to what states actually enact a voter photo ID. I'll wager we won't see the following states chasing this legislation: Pennsylvania, Illinois, Wisconsin, New Mexico.
States that have large populations living on Indian reservations, probably not. There are entire industries that revolve around getting Native Americans, many of them dead, on the voter rolls.
The vast majority of Americans favor photograph voter identification. Georgia, in fact, referenced in the below quotable from Chuck Muth, is making the process extremely easy, even providing transportation to a voter registration center for those without transportation or in some cases, will come to a potential voter's home.
The picture is a ha-ha I know but it's just how slap-happy I feel about the furor over voter photo identification. It's nonsensical; a joke.
