Supreme Court Gets This One Right

The Supreme Court yesterday decided that showing a government issued ID card in order to vote did not put an undue obstacle in front of poor, elderly and handicapped people. The judgment came down due to an Indian law that would require such identification in order to cast a vote.

Liberals and most Democrats have long been apposed to such a measure saying that minorities and the poor will be disenfranchised if such laws went into affect.

Now you have to ask yourself, how is it that showing an ID, or even obtaining one is far beyond the reach of every single American? It is not. It is a sham.

Lets face it, you must show a picture ID before you can do just about anything anywhere. Including renting furniture and big screen TV's at places like Rent-a-Center. If the poor can show their ID in order to get a sofa, then I am sure they can show an ID to vote.

Many states charge a very minimal fee for a photo ID. Most are under $20 bucks and they are good for up to 5 years. So the cost cannot be a factor at all. And if a person is so destitute as to not be able to afford the $20 every 5 years, then I am sure there are groups out there that could pitch in and make sure they got the ID they needed.

What this does is eliminate a huge area of voter fraud. Now of course, you will hear the Liberals say this is a cure for which there is no ill. They are always the first ones to shout voter fraud when they lose close elections. Hanging chad anyone?

We also know that other elections have had massive fraud in them. Just because nobody big has been caught and convicted of doing such a deed does not mean it is not happening. The point is that lack of voter identification aids the Democrat party and they know it.

We know for a fact that there have been dead people who have voted mostly for Democrats. We know for a fact that some elderly and homeless people have voted in more than one voting district in the same election and those votes went heavily to the Democrat.

What the Liberals do not want is honesty and fairness. They know they will lose almost every time when it comes down to truth, honesty, integrity and ideas. This is why they often have to resort to cheating and using the courts to get their agendas passed.

I do not know an ordinary American who would be opposed to showing their drivers license or other state picture ID in order to cast their vote. In fact most would be happy to do so knowing that they are helping to eliminate fraud in the system.

Is this a perfect solution? Of course not. Is it simple and cheap and effective? Yes. My God, something that is simple, cheap and effective coming from the government? We should all embrace it.

This does not give credence to the need for a national or Federal ID card. I am against such a measure besides we already have the Social Security Card. What more of a nation ID to you need than that?

Showing a picture ID will help to make sure that legal citizens of our great nation have a true voice when casting their vote. There is nothing more disenfranchising then to have dead people vote, to have homeless and the elderly vote more than once in the same election, to have mentally disabled people vote.

Showing an ID to vote, as with anything else, just makes sense. And if it makes sense and Liberals hate the idea, then most likely it is the right thing to do.

Stop! Think! Vote!
