Supreme Court upholds photo ID law for voters in Indiana

[Perd Hapley]

In todays society you cannot get anything done without picture ID.  Bank accounts, using debit card, cashing checks, even buying over the counter cold medicines not to mention just plain driving a car. 

You would be surprised how many people have no back account, no debit card, no checks and no car.  I doubt many of those people give any thought to voting...

[Firethorn]

I doubt many of those people give any thought to voting...

Yeah, but they make a great straw horse for those who oppose requiring ID to vote.

[Perd Hapley]

You must favor a reinstatement of the poll tax.  Racist!

[cassandra and sara's daddy]

 laugh every time I hear the excuse that the elderly, poor, or minorities don't have ID.  In todays society you cannot get anything done without picture ID.  Bank accounts, using debit card, cashing checks, even buying over the counter cold medicines not to mention just plain driving a car.

The "poor" have DVD players and cell phones.  They can not smoke cigarettes for several days to save up for that $13 Indiana State ID card.

[K Frame]

Oh, but the poor can't afford banking services.

Firethorn's point about fraud disenfranchising voters directly is a fantastic one that needs to be shouted from the rooftops.

[El Tejon]

Tell me, I've living voting fraud.  Thanks to Indiana's inane "early voting" (all the cool kids are doing it) my city is overrun with Illinois license plates coming over to attempt to vote for Obama.

[K Frame]

Have any of them been arrested?

If not, a few high profile arrests and nice sentences might help deter some of them.
