I'd be willing to make a compromise when it comes to voter ID.

I've heard stories of little old ladies who can't get IDs made because they lost or never even had birth certificates. This is particularly common among African Americans and others born in rural areas.

What if we just required IDs for voters born 1970 or later? Surely almost everyone born after 1970 has a birth certificate or at least one on file in the county they were born in.

You guys don’t care about fair elections. You care about voter suppression.

Oh the horror. I've waited hours in line to get a new DL and made the extraordinary move of calling ahead to confirm what I needed to bring with me. Hell, I'm just a dumb old redneck and I can think for myself.

Of course, it is Cincinnati where they've had democrat mayors since the late 40's so...

When Mach whines and throws a fit, the comedic value is truly priceless.

My mom was one of those little old ladies born in the country. In 2002, right after my dad passed away, she was down in a funk so I invited her to take a trip to Paris with me. Problem--she didn't have a passport. And she did not have a birth certificate.

But she was working for the State of Alabama, and had been nominated for State Employee of the Year a couple of years before. She had attended a banquet in Montgomery, where the governor had said to her, "Let me know if I can ever do anything to help you." So she flies home on Sunday, calls him Monday morning, and Thursday she calls me to tell me she has her passport. I say, "You mean your birth certificate?" She replies, "No, my passport. It came in the mail today."

Turns out that she got through to the governor, explained her situation, and he said, "I can probably help with the birth certificate, but the passport is federal. But I'm pretty sure my good friend, Senator Shelby, can help with that." Shelby was chair of the senate intelligence committee at the time. How long to you think it takes the chairman of the senate intelligence committee to get somebody in State Department to return his phone call? Hint: Not very. And my mom never believed in underkill.

That was the trip where she fell and broke her hip, so I got to see the French health care system up close and personal. I believed in their approach conceptually before then, but seeing it in person convinced me.

A new low from the worst poster on the board...

Gentleman,

I believe at the bottom of my heart this I’d stuff is to suppress the vote. It’s going to knock 5% off of D’s total votes. You have to have an address you lived in for over 6 months. Little things that are going to pile up. Where in the constitution does it say any of this? I get mad over this.

The delusion of the liberal mindset is on full display here...

So you are being a racist, how funny. You obviously think blacks are too stupid to get and maintain an ID. Where is your KKK sheet?

Mach the Bigot should be your new name.

It's in penumbras, formed by emanations like so many other things in the Constitution.

And I believe at the bottom of my heart that the only reason democrats oppose voter ID is because they want to stuff ballot boxes with impersonator votes.

Any of you black Americans here should contact Mach. He will gladly help you get an ID to vote since you’re to stupid (because you are black) to do it on your own. Whites should disregard since Mach thinks all whites are smart enough to do so on their own.

False start. Some habits are hard to break.

I believe there are two reasons:
1) They cheat in the inner cities and want to continue to do so. Its a known fact that they have a history of this in New York and Chicago. Its pretty widely accepted Mayor Daley stole Illinois in 1960 for Kennedy and that LBJ's friend George Parr manufactured thousands of votes in South Texas for JFK in 1960 as well as he did to get LBJ first elected in the Senate in the 1940s. I think its pretty widespread whereever they have one party dominance.
2) They think stupid, lazy, uninformed voters are more likely to vote Democrat. They want a stupid electorate. They don't want informed voters making the decision because they would get stomped.

I prefer the Federal Government not be handing down directions such as this.

It’s not about being stupid. It’s about Socio economic status. People who are not housing stable will be disenfranchised. Simple as that. Keep up the hate and putting words in my mouth.

Give us some more racist stuff about blacks being too stupid to get and maintain an ID. Poor people can get and keep an ID as well as people better off.
