> The reason conservatives want voter ID is to prevent voting under other peoples' identity. Without ID there's no way you can even know that's happening. Which, we suspect, is why the Democrats are fighting so hard against it.
The reason Republicans want voter ID is because the mathematical models show that Voter ID swings the vote Republican. The rest is speculation and post-hoc rationalization.
Care to enumerate the Republican proposals to make sure every legal voter in USA actually has a valid ID handy on election day, and arrives at the polls to cast a vote? Or is this a case of "market forces will incentivize the desired outcome, somehow"?

- tsotha 12y agoI will say this. If I were black or poor I'd be terribly insulted by this nonsense. Don't you think it's a little bit racist to believe blacks are too stupid to do what they need to do to vote? We're not talking about solving simultaneous differential equations here.
