I’m Confused I show my ID evertime I vote.

Forcing people to show an ID to vote will help to prevent fraud. So what do the people want that are against showing an ID to vote?

I have to show my ID all the time for various reasons. I don’t have a problem with proving who I am. The only reason I see that someone would not want to is if they are trying to get away with something.

Multi-Culturalism is religion and this ad is “Blasphemy” to liberal bible bangers.

They use the word racism like a California surfer dude uses the F word in every other sentance.

First of all, I do not agree with WeWantVoterID.com methods of handling the subject.
However, last week in USA Today, there was an article that stated 1 in 8 votes in last years elections were not correct. The article did not state “fraud”, but what else could it be. However, over the years articles in other papers have proven people going and voting in multiple locations and states – that is fraud. A photo ID card with address would stop that type of fraud.
In most states you can get a photo ID (if you do not have a passport) for travel by air. So make the ID “free”, this way everyone will have a ID card with photo and address.

the writing at WCC0 has been pretty poor lately, but this is a story why? A group that does not want voters to show an ID to vote wants this whole thing stopped because one supporting group used an image that they find offensive? Really? Using that logic, Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Amy Koch, NOrm Coleman, Michelle Bachmann and many others never would be allowed in public.

Why do Republicans have so much hate?

“they want the people behind the WeWantVoterID website to stop pushing for a voter ID constitutional amendment.”

They don’t really care about the alleged racial profiling. They just want to silence their opposition by throwing around the term “racist.”

Besides, if we need to have photo ID in order to exercise our constitutional right to keep and bear arms, how is it wrong to require photo ID to prove that you are eligible for the constitutional right to vote?

You are not legally required to have a driver’s license. And what some people seem to fail to realize is that there are large numbers of people (particularly the poor and the elderly) who don’t have drivers licenses. So wake up and realize there are millions of Americans who don’t “use my photo ID every day”.

Some states issue their own ID cards, though some of those don’t even include a picture and are just printed on paper. Calling those things reliable identification is a stretch.

For all those who want to require photo ID, first you need to fund a system where all citizens are given reliable photo ID without significant cost or inconvenience. Otherwise, you are suddenly making it easy to vote if you also happen to drive, but a big pain for everyone else. Pony up the cash to put a program like that in place and then there’s no problem.

If you’re not willing to do that, you reveal yourself for what you truly are – short-sighted fools who are willing to believe tales about boogey-men and/or the Republican thugs who spread those lies and just want to keep the poor, the elderly, and minorities from voting since they currently tend to vote Democrat.

Voter Fraud? This is more tripe from the Right to distract from the fact that these TeapubliCON’S have no plan nor clue as to what they are doing…no wonder they were the minority party for 40 yrs in MN…and will be again come NOVEMBER…nuff said !!!

Another “problem” looking for a solution. How many voters will we need to disenfranchise to be able to stop all this so called fraud, which during the last election amounted to a couple of votes, maybe, out of millions. Think about it, you go in to vote and they check off your name, if there is any problem you could still vote and your ballot would be validated. Then there would be a record of the “vote fraud” that took place. To date = 0. Thank You.

How can it possibly be profiling if everyone has to have an I.D.

Massive republican gains in 2010. Voter fraud is obviously the problem there.

Compete, total, utter, NONSENSE. Google voter fraud in the US, and Minnesota comes up #1 in the NATION. If it was EVER needed, it it needed HERE. Has NOTHING to do with RACE, has EVERYTHING TO DO with INTEGRITY, VALUES, ETHICS, and HONESTY.

If you don’t have to show an ID to vote, then you shouldn’t have to show an ID to buy alcohol, tobacco, get on a plane, apply for a permit to carry a handgun, or benefits, or WELFARE, or *FOOD STAMPS*, or ***HOUSING ASSISTANCE***, or
****FREE GOLD PLATED, TAXPAYER-PAID, HEALTHCARE****, either.

No id, no job, no vote. That “right” should be reserved for tax paying AMERICANS

I say NOT having voter ID is racial profiling.

A lot of stuff you claim here. Where are your facts? This is such a simple issue: Should people who have no right to vote be allowed to right, thereby cancelling out the votes of people who DO have a right to vote. Dead people, illegal immigrants, felons, and people who have already voted once should not be allowed to vote. What’s so bad about that. There is not a single good reason voters should not be required to prove who they are!

The simple fact is that voting fraud aids the Democrats. As the Democratic political bosses of New York and Chicago always said: vote and vote often.

Having a valid ID is just common sense in this day and age,it has nothing to do with racial profiling.Furthermore,it’s a matter of time before the homeland security act will require all americans to carry a valid ID.More laws to protect us from them,or them from us.

I have to show my photo I.D. everytime I vote. Whats the big deal ?
Racial Profiling ? Thats a stretch !! Looks more like cartoon characters to me.

Fasinating. WCCO asked for and received a response from Minnesota Majority, but they neglected to include it. I’ll do the job that these journalists refused to do:

St. Paul – Minnesota Majority president Jeff Davis responded to Take Action Minnesota’s Monday press conference in which they accuse Minnesota Majority of using race issues to advance Voter ID.

“Race has never been a factor in the Voter ID debate. Only Take Action Minnesota wants to raise that specter. The amendment is about equal treatment under the law and fairness,” said Davis.

“The people of Minnesota are wise to these old smear tactics. It’s a testament to the fact that their arguments against Voter ID lack any merit when they resort to mud slinging with the old race card. Ad hominem attacks are a sure sign of losing an argument.”

In opinion polls conducted over the last several years, Voter ID enjoys 80% Support in Minnesota.

“The only other argument they’ve tried to rest their case against Voter ID on is disenfranchisement. They claim that thousands of voters will be unable to vote. Their problem is that every time their disenfranchisement argument has been tested in court, it’s been disproven. Requiring voters to identify themselves while providing free state-issued ID isn’t going to stop any eligible voter from exercising his or her rights,” Davis concluded.

The only people against voter ID are those who gain from it! I show my ID to buy beer or cigarettes, get on a plane, vote, when driving (maybe), to rent a car, to buy gun or ammunition, to buy a fishing license or a hunting license, etc… I am a white guy so am I being discriminated against or don’t I count? If the liberals weren’t such a bunch of cheats we wouldn’t need it!!! It’s karma.

We have voter ID because some people are cheats!! Nuff saud.

The last case of voter fraud I read about (about 2 wks ago) was the Indiana Republican Sec. of State lying about his residency so he could collect a $1k a mo. stipend from the city council.
