It's like airplane food, am I right? OK not like airline food at all, but what is it? At the end of the day the biggest aspect to voter ID legislation is that an individual who comes to vote must, wait for it...SHOW SOME VALID IDENTIFICATION. Holy shit. What balls on those government fat-cats. Wait, what? That's it. Well that doesn't seem that bad. Why is that bad?
Some would say this disenfranchises certain segments of society who would otherwise vote but don't have an ID. Huh? Who in the fuck doesn't have some ID? Well it is argued (seriously this is argued) that Hispanics (I am serious) are 24% more unlikely to have an ID than whites of registered voters. Do they tell us how many of those Hispanics are citizens? They do not, wonder why? African-Americans are 48% more unlikely than whites to have an ID of registered voters.
This tells me a few things;
1) Why don't these people go get IDs? They have time to register to vote, it takes about the same amount of time and effort to get an official state ID. That is just lazy or stupid or worse, potentially fraudulent.
2) How do these people deal with the many situations that require IDs such as opening a bank account (requires 2 forms and a social security number), getting any form of credit, getting a discount at a movie theatre, buying alcohol, getting in to a bar or an R-rated movie, buying pornography, buying fire-arms...pretty much all the fun, cool stuff in the world! Yeah I said it alcohol, guns and porn are fun but also are God-given American rights...that require IDs! Hmmm just like voting should, no?
Keep it up sheep and be sure to vote early often and let all your state-paid election officials get to shredders quickly and efficiently!
