The best argument for voter ID I've heard so far


Fellow blogger Mr. B. at In The Middle Of The Right has posted an excellent perspective on why voter ID isn't an unduly onerous or discriminatory requirement. Here's an excerpt.

Getting a job must be an "undue burden" for the poor and people of color, or something like that....

One from list "A"or one from list "B" and one from list"C".

That 's what it takes to get a job. You have to show proof of identity (and meet other employment requirements, but we are talking today about the requirements of the DHS), so that your SSN can be used to properly charge you a tithe percentage of your earnings to pay forward the obligations of the gubmint on debts incurred in the past, and to provide freebies handouts benefits to the lazy freeloaders deserving poor and illegals.

Yet to show enough ID to prove who you are when you cast your ballot for your masters leaders who will make decisions regarding your lifestyle and freedom and economic status for the next election cycle is an undue burden... So does this mean that to be employed is [a] burden for these folks? I know a lot of folks who are African-American who are gainfully employed and middle class who were somehow able to overcome the undue burden of providing ID for their I-9 so they could pay taxes earn a living. I really don't see how providing this proof of identity in order to be employed caused them a hardship.

Or it could be a blatant cover by the DNC and Eric Holder to hide the continued voter fraud perpetrated by the DNC and its {ACORN!} operatives. Some of which are funded by those same taxpayers.


There's more at the link. Highly recommended reading - and a great answer to all those who argue that requiring voters to produce an official identification document is somehow unreasonable or excessively burdensome. If you're not allowed to work in the USA without proving your eligibility to do so, why shouldn't you have to prove your eligibility to vote? Sounds reasonable to me . . .

Congratulations and thanks to Mr. B. for a very useful argument.
