Since the beginning of the year murmuring began over voters having to present picture ID's when voting. This was being encouraged by the Republican party to insure every person who voted was actually who they claimed to be. On the other side the Democrats have said there is no need for anyone to produce a photo ID when they vote because no person has ever been charged with voter ID fraud.
My thinking is how can you charge someone with lying about who they are if you do not know who they are in the first place. Dems have their constituents claiming they don't have photo ID's and can't afford photo ID's. This claim has been most pronounced from black Democrat voters and that claim has been pushed hard by the National Democratic Party. I find this photo ID to be one of the easiest and most assured ways of preventing voter fraud that is available and the claim of prohibitive cost is absurd to say the least.
These days photo ID's are common place, you can't get on an airplane and for an individual to open a bank account they have to produce a valid photo ID in most every bank in this country. A photo ID is essential for cashing payroll checks and there are very few places that will cash a personal check for anyone without a current photo ID even in small towns unless they are known by the store owner.
The Democrat Party is trying to portray Republicans as racists who are trying to suppress voters. This is another lie to draw attention to the other hand as they say in the magic world. Only recently uncovered and in the news was an investigation on the election of Obama where it showed hundreds of names on a petition was found to be fraudulent. This is one more example of why it is necessary to have a photo ID.
The items needed to get a photo ID is pretty common throughout the country. Present a birth certificate, present something to show you are in America legally, show something that proves you live in the state where you are going to be voting and give the establishment a price for the ID, usually around 20 dollars, and your done, you now are photo ID'ed and ready to legally vote in your state and no other person can vote in your name.
This is important and I will say this in closing, I find it trifling to think people believe the cost of a photo ID is too high a price to pay for them to assure our system of democracy is preserved. Ask yourself if what you pay for photo ID compares to what millions of Americans have paid when they gave their lives to save our Republic and peoples right to have their vote count, honestly. So as much as the Democrat party wants, requiring voters to present a photo ID to prevent some illegal voter from stealing their vote cannot be called voter suppression, how about call it repaying a debt.
