I'm always ready to show my ID. But I'm from California and they do not ask. Obama, Hillary and his other toadies call it racist but I can give you a list of things you need an ID for. And the top of the list, you need an ID to go to an Obama, Hillary event.

yep, you sure do. I went to the white house last August. Had to write to my congressmen, send in a form along with my photo ID.

It wouldn't be a bad idea for photo IDs to be provided to the government for free. If that's the case, then yes, photo IDs should be shown when voting.

If you are required to show an ID to obtain benefits from the government; your damned skipy that you have to show one to vote; show that is you casting your vote.
Is a big pile of BS stating that showing an ID to vote is racial discrimination

I'd like to see a survey of how many voter aged American's that do not have a valid form of ID. I've read anywhere from 10% to up to 25% in certain demographics, do not possess a valid ID. I'd be even more interested in a regional breakdown as well - potentially identifying areas of high "ID-less" persons and then you could begin to figure out why that is, based on where they live.

It's just hard to fathom that people who live within an urban environment can live day to day without a valid ID, with all of the ID requirements we have within our society. I know people do live day to day in these areas without one - but that leads me to "assume" that they lack a banking account, accounts with utility companies, are alcohol/tobacco free, etc... Which I know is a poor assumption - but it's also why I do not understand the poll tax label...as you need a valid from of ID for so many things within the system.

I most certainly do! I wonder if all those moaning that voter ID requirements are discriminatory and infringe on the right to vote would be willing to apply their peculiar brand of 'logic' to the 2nd Amendment. After all, the 2nd Amendment states that individuals have the right to keep and bear arms but if I try to exercise either of those rights, either by purchasing a gun or applying for a concealed carry permit, I'm forced to show a state-issued photo ID. Not only that, I'm also subject to both a 2nd Amendment test and a 2nd Amendment tax in the form of having to fill out a background check and pay a fee to have the background check run. Since the requirements to exercise my 2nd Amendment rights are far more onerous than the simple photo ID requirement for voting and obviously infringes on that right by creating a burden to that exercise, I have no doubt that the anti-photo ID people will join me in calling for ALL photo ID and background check laws to be repealed. I'm equally confident that they'll also label anybody who disagrees with this, no matter what the reason, to be a racist who hates the poor.

When I read the lead article (USNews) and saw the leadin "Twelve thousand noncitizens registered to vote in Colorado" I thought that sounded a bit odd. So I did a little checking and this is what the truth (that pesky thing) appears to be ...
"The Colorado secretary of state's office says nearly 12,000 registered voters are listed as non-U.S. citizens because they failed to check a box affirming citizenship when they registered to vote."

See that? Not "non-citizen" but "didn't check a box"

I agree with this, in this day and age for someone not to have an ID is absurd. If you don't have an ID how do you register to vote and prove you are who you say you are? This opens to door to voter fraud in my opinion.

I'm wondering why there are some on here that feel it's against their constitutional right to have to show an ID...I just don't get it. Glad you feel the same way.

I would have no problem providing an ID if asked in order to vote.

right?!?! Voting is a really important thing...something that effects all of us and can change things for everyone....it seems to me everyone would want to make sure the person voting truly is the right person and has the right to vote.
