April 2, 2012 - PPM - Voter ID Requirement

This week’s PET PEEVE MONDAY (PPM) is about Voter ID laws.

The Pew Institute,a non-partisan organization reported last month that more than 24 million voter-registration records in the United States – about one in eight – are inaccurate, out of date, or duplicate. Nearly 2.8 million people are registered in 2 or more states, and perhaps 1.8 million registered voters are dead.

It would seem reasonable that you should have to show some form of Photo ID in order toexercise the greatest right we have as American CITIZENS, the Right To Vote.

After all, you need an ID to Drive, to get a job, or to even check out a library book. Why are so many Democrats against a simple check of authenticity?

If you have never traveled, had a job, or read a book, MAYBE you SHOULDN’T be allowed to vote.

Everyone wants to preach about the wisdom of our Founding Fathers. They thought that only white, land owners should get the right to vote. How could they be so right about the Second Amendment, yet totally miss this one? People have selective memory as well as “selective acceptance.”

I would offer that only TAX PAYERS and people able to pass a basic civics lesson should get the right to vote and decide who should lead our country. And, oh yes, THEY SHOULD HAVE A PHOTO ID.

We have all seen what uninformed and undocumented voters did in 2008.
