Voter ID, We need them NOW!
I live up here in Minnesota and cannot believe what is going on up here. The election is over and Franken and Coleman are neck and neck. My question is whets going on! How did Franken find somewhere around 500 votes? Where did they come from, oh wait, 30 came out of a trunk. Sorry I forgot. Ok then where did the other 470 or so votes come from?
First I have a hard time even thinking that Franken got any votes. This is a guy that has a hard time stating the truth. He said he didn’t vote for bills in congress but Coleman did. Really, that’s amazing I don’t think he was in congress. Maybe in his mind he was.
Let’s get back to the voter ID that we desperately need. We need a library card to get books out of the library. We need a driver’s license to drive a car. We need a student ID from grade school on up for school functions. We have to show an ID to get on a plane at the airport. I think you get the idea. Why don’t we need an ID to vote? This is one of the most important things a U.S. citizen can do and no one asks for an ID. Whets wrong with this picture?
This whole election season (This election it seemed like a long season) all you heard about was Acorn and investigations of voter fraud or tampering with the election. Whether it was registering or crossing state lines to vote in that state that you don’t live it seemed like Acorn was in the news. This was also going on in 2004 and some states tried to get an ID but it was a fight either with the Democrats or the ACLU. They think that people do not need an ID and the Republicans are trying to suppress the poor voters.
Well we need voter ID’s and Acorn is the proof. An ID would not suppress the poor put the information on their driver’s license. If they don’t have a license give them an ID. Then Acorn could still drive them to vote. The key is to verify who they are, that they are U.S. citizens and legal to vote. Make it were they have to register at least 3 months before an election. Make the people show birth certificates or other proof that they are citizens of the U.S.
This problem has got to get under control. I feel that when I cast my vote it is being cancelled out by someone who is not legal to vote.
