That's pretty bad, but I still support showing an ID to vote.
You can certainly support that but given the RIGHT to vote is codified . . . the state cannot promulgate rules that will clearly disenfranchise otherwise eligible voters.
LOL...no one is being disenfranchised....anyone who wants to vote can, you just need to get a state ID...anyone cand do that....the fact is that to vote now, you can't just walk in...you may have to actually do some work, like...oh...I don't know.....perhaps actually prove who you are?
The elections are spaced apart enough and there is enough information plastered all over the tv about the requirements to vote....people have plenty of time to get prepared.
If you are too lazy and incompentent to get a state ID within a year or two, chances are you won't get your lazy ass out to vote anyway....besides at that rate you don't desreve the right.

I believe if you don't have a method of identification you can get arrested just on that basis. I feel it is a citizens responsability to always carry ID everywhere you go. People need to know who you are in case you are in trouble etc..... It is socially irresponsabile.

Per the link, some lose their license through revocation. Some just don't have one. But that doesn't change the fact that a driver's license isn't the only form of photo ID a person can have.
The OP is presenting a false argument by trying to imply that the only valid form of ID is a drivers license.

To not require an ID to vote, people are just asking for more fraud. When you whine about 2000 and 2004, then oppose measures to protect against fraud then all creditability is lost.

seems to me that you as a conservative/ Republican quite simply support illegal - unconstitutional - measures that would prevent likely Democrat supporters from voting.
