Now if you were to say that registering to vote required proof of citizenship, then I think this would be a place where voter fraud could be taking place in a significant manner, by many illegals or even many legal immigrant residents that are not citizens yet.
etc. etc. etc.
See Mtnbiker, once again, I have to tell you guys, "I told you so."
There is always an excuse.
Notice that she is "uncertain". As far as I am concerned if she and all the other liberals are "uncertain", then voter id should be required because they are not certain that the dead vote Democratic.
Who knows if there are a significant number of criminals that enter polling precincts and vote for people that they know are not going to vote? Who knows if it is only Democrats that do this? Somehow I doubt that it is. Who knows if anyone does it, but does that matter? We put cameras at traffic lights to stop people from running red lights. The police have radar detectors that they point at cars that are not speeding all the time in order to prevent speeding. The IRS has certain "red flags" that can initiate an audit in order to catch tax fraud.
We have all kinds of different devices in this country used to catch criminals and reduce crime. Why not take an effort to reduce voter fraud by requiring a voter to present a valid id before voting?
