Democrats: States Should Not Require Voters to Present Photo ID

House Minority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland is leading a group of Democrats in opposition to voter-ID laws that require individuals to present photo identification at the polls.

The Democratic lawmakers wrote a letter to every state’s Secretary of State urging them to oppose laws that they argue make it more difficult for Americans to register and vote.

“Whether it is an elderly woman unable to locate her birth certificate for purposes of establishing her U.S. citizenship on election day or a college student whose school-issued identification is not among the IDs deemed acceptable for voting or a disabled veteran whose local polling place has not yet been made accessible, public officials on all levels of government should be striving to facilitate their right to vote, not make it more difficult,” says the letter.

    Demonazis simply can't win an honest election. They must have the illegal vote and they must have the graveyard vote in order to have a chance. I have to show my ID here in my state and it should be the law everywhere in the country. It is common sense and it does not cause any hardship except for those that aren't supposed to be voting in the first place.

    Since Illegals can have a drivers license, an upgrade to voter registration is in order. A simple digital camera similar to ones in laptops could be utilized to produce registration documents you already need to show at a voting place. So whats the big deal if a picture is on your voting card? Ya cant fix an election as easily! Absentee ballots would have voter information, including the picture, printed for the individual voter ballot at the time it is requested. No more generic applications. A camera could also be used attatched to a voting machine to create a voter picture database.

    I just tried to tell people how to present ID while voting. Why was my comment deleted?

    The Democrats want to make it easy for illegals, the dead, and for making multiple votes possible. Of course they do not want IDs at the voting booth.

    The Democrats do many things that are stupid and hurt our National economy. But, they are not stupid enough to hurt the hands that keep them in power – the poor, the irresponsible, the entitled, the crooks with green job ideas, and of course the illegal (s) who know nothing better than to blindly vote for Liberals and incompetent elected officials. How else would you explain the Liberal support for the "Wall Street Occupiers?" Liberals know how to spend our money better than anyone – look at the Europeans, and what the Social Liberals there have done to their continent. Our American Liberals are running to catch-up to their EU Liberal heroes – we can do it better and faster and we are more destructive. As long as Obama is our Liberal Leader, we can catch-up, our race to the bottom.

    Hey Steny boy, you neglect to remember the 2008 Senate race in Minnesota. You people gave us Al Franken and numerous other socialist hacks in your party. If you can't handle free and free elections, then your ideas suck.

    If you're ever wondering who the "DOMESTIC ENEMIES" of the Republic are that all of our military, congressmen, senators, president, and justices VOW to defend the Constitution from (but rarely do), the pukes in this video are just the tip of the iceberg, but are very representative of the DOMESTIC ENEMIES OF THE UNITED STATES that are forefathers warned us about! We can forget worrying about foreign enemies doing anything to us as long as we have these idiots in charge holding the door open for them in every way imaginable. I hope that one day in my lifetime all of these collaborators against the US will face trial and punishment for their obvious enemity and abuses of our country and our Constitution…from the Abuser-in-Chief to the county election commissioners that fail to do the simple act of verifying someone is eligible to vote or especially run for an office they are seeking.

    Everyone in America knows that not one single election commissioner in America vetted "his majesty" according to the qualifications to hold that office before they put him on the ballot in their county or their state. If they had, evidence would have had to have been produced and it never was. McCain had a whole court case filed and completed before he was allowed to be on the ballot and he was known to have been a child born on a U.S. military base in Panama to two Americans one of whom was a prominent Navy Admiral. Our government is no longer a gov't of the people, by the people, and for the people. At best, they are working only for their own self-interests. At worst, they all conspiring DOMESTIC ENEMIES. The Truth will one day win out and all of the "spin" will go away…

    -this jerk and his Marxists/Communist/Agenda 21 cronies start with putting, Former??????, democrats on the slate for president, then he goes to defomation of character, now the vote w/o ID, which is the way it must not be. What is he going to do next, hire some crazy muslim to kill off those who oppose him?

  • Mike

    Of course they don't want people to have to prove who they are. How else could illegal aliens or dead people vote? I won't even mention all of the homeless that ACORN gives free lunches to for voting repetitively. Un-American idiots!

  • StevenI

    I had to show proof that I lived in WI to register to vote. I agree with everyone, this is so the Democrats can throw the Election, PERIOD!!!

    Any where there is voter fraud there is a Democrat involved. That is the only way they can win. The real question is why they are not prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Where I used to live there were pictures published of a Democrat congresswoman taking voters from one poling place to another by bus and having them vote, but of course there wasn't enough evidence to prosecute her. I have to show ID to do just about anything. The democrat argument doesn't hold water. Pass voter ID and tell them to either go get their ID, which they have or don't vote. By the way, we will check for a heart beat too.

    Oh HELL NO! ID is REQUIRED for a reason!!!!! The only reason why these democrat/libera/marxist/communist idiots don't want ID is so that they can have the dead vote, people voting 2x, and illegals vote. That's why I HATE mail in ballots!
    Anyone can sign your name.

    There is ONLY ONE reason to oppose Photo ID when registering to vote —
    TO FACILITATE FRAUD !
    THAT'S the Democrat agenda !

  • Wisdom

    ONE CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHY DEMS. ARE AGAINST PHOTO IDS'. COULD IT BE THEIR FIRST NAME IS "ME ME ME ME ME ?

  • howe

    I don't know where the idiot of a Governor has been living if she thinksthere is no voting fraud problems. I guess the FBI investigating voter fraud in 14 states in in 2008 and 2009 was a fantasy drill. There were over 4000 voter fraud incidents in Texas alone in 2008 and some believe that the fraud was so pervasive that the numbers of voters casting illegal votes could have changed the outcome against Hillary Clinton. I think everyone has sseen the news about voter signatures for the seven dwarfs and mickey mouse were used and also the Dallas Cowboy players were busy with a few thousand votes, I thought there was only 53 men on each NFL team roster. The other reason which is probably more important is the need to identify illegals when it comes time for employment or medical treatment or police stops for cause. These socialist Democrats are becoming the party of corruption by demonizing conservatives for wanting to stop fraud.

  • cowm

    You have to show a photo ID if you are a legel US citizen for everything like voting, cashing checks,welfare,food stamps, unemployment ,social security, medicare and most everything else. BUT, on the other hand, if you are a dead US citizen, NOT a US legal citizen, a muslim or a black democrat, ALL APROVED BY ACCORN, then you do NOT have to show a photo ID and can vote in more than one place in the same election ……….Charles of Waveland,MS.
