House bill to require voter ID
Link
Makes sense to me. Every citizen should have a valid state picture ID and should have to show it in order to prove they are a resident of the state and town to vote.
The House yesterday passed legislation that would require voters to show a valid photo identification in federal elections over the overwhelming objections of Democrats who compared the bill to segregation-era measures aimed at disenfranchising Southern blacks.

why the fuck is it a racist thing? don't they keep screaming about the past two "stolen" elections? well, wouldn't this help keep the voting legit? of course it would, hence their problem with it.

All you needed to vote here in the MA this past Tuesday was an electric bill. Are you freaking kidding me? Voting is a right, driving a car is a privelage, one needs an ID the other nothing.

And, so if you were to lose your job, we should take your right to vote as well since you aren't being all that productive?

A homeless man with no car, no house, and barely paying for food, let alone an ID...he should not be allowed to vote?

Despite what you may say, until the ID's are offered for free, checking ID violates Amendment 24 of the Constitution. Basically, there can be NO COST associated with voting, and currently, getting an ID in any state has cost associated with it.
