Three in Four Americans Support Voter ID It is an article of faith among progressives that mandatory voter ID laws are racist and discriminatory. Such voter requirements, they say, unfairly discriminate against minorities and elderly citizens, many of whom do not have and cannot afford to purchase them. However, it is a well-known fact that in the United States, one must always and everywhere show a photo ID to board airplanes, rent automobiles, and purchase firearms. So why should voting, a fundamental and hard-won American right, be any different? Perhaps for these reasons, a new poll shows that the vast majority of Americans, most of whom are not racist, support such compulsory laws (via Drudge and The Washington Examiner) Despite Democratic charges that conservative states and politicians are engaging in discrimination by demanding that voters show identification, more than three-quarters of likely voters believe photo ID laws are needed. A new Rasmussen Reports poll out Wednesday found support for photo ID laws at 76 percent, nearly exactly the 78 percent support registered in 2006 when the latest movement to scrap the laws kicked off. In other words, support for these kinds of laws is enduringly strong, and presumably, it will stay that way for the foreseeable future. Not terribly surprising, is it? Article by Daniel Doherty |

Anyone saying voter ID is not a good idea MUST assume all people are honest and candidates would never cheat to win. If they are not this ignorant they are in on the FIX and the worst of the treasonous narcissist schemers of all peoples ever. As always the 5% (or less) are held up as reason to bend the masses when there are always other reasonable solutions. tim

What percentage of The Great American Public believed that Iraq had WMD's? Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's a good idea.

Re:"What percentage of The Great American Public believed that Iraq had WMD's? Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's a good idea." Cheap shot, poor example in my opinion. IMO 99% of us were convinced of WMDs by a media pumping us full of the usual narratives. The other 1% were at the top making the moves. What do we really know anyway? Regarding voter ID as simply an 'idea' means to me YOU want to cheapen MY vote by diluting it in a scheme to get your guy into power. I take that as you pushing your will on me and I don't like it
