May I see Your ID Please. AT the top,l et me say I pride myself as being what I call a common sense Centrist, I think good governance is good governance simple as that. I think Its Good for Gvt to defend our country, pave our roads, help people recover from disaster, provide Limited help to people who need ot be lifted out of poverty. You get the picture. NOT good for GVT; tell me what books I can read, installing religious beliefs in schools, basically stay out of my Beliefs.
Hopefully that qualifies me as a reasonable common sense human.
Having said that, Lets try this.
Some form of Identification requirement for Voting is not such a horribe Idea.
Some support for my Argument.
If I want to FLY, I must provide a Gvt issued ID
If I want to Operate a Motor Vehicle- I MUST have the GVT Issued License.
If I want to go to the library I need a "card" to do So.
If I buy Tickets for a Show and go to Willcall to get the tix. I need to Provide ID.
The Left says that VOTER ID would discourage Some from Voting. The Rght says that attitude Proves that the Democrat leaders encourage Voter Fraud AND those fraudulent voters ALWAYS vote Democratic. There is NO evidence tthat actually Happens in any organized way. And, Who are these people that want to Vote Illegally, How many of them are out there. Enough to change the outcome of elections? Im a cynic on that Idea.
Im Saying it's time to Put this debate to bed. Provide a State Issued Voter ID.
In NJ The Motor Vehicle Comission Issues the "REAL ID". It has deep proof of who I am. If the GVT trusts that and will let me get on a Plane, It seems to me that should Qualify as a way to verify I have a verified way to Vote.
