This blog is in reaction to Voting ID Laws, Long Over Due
I think that enacting a law where voters would have to show their photo id or drivers license is very practice. It would prevent fraud would ensure that the correct person is voting and not an imposter. I don’t understand why it is such a big issue, the simple fact is that you get one vote per person as a United States citizen. This law would prevent illegal immigrants from being able to vote in another person name. By enacting this law, it would cause very little if at all any inconvenience to voters.
I’m not sure that I agree with what critics say about this proposition. As you pointed out, critics think that it would be a burden for voters. I think that is ridiculous. Most people are required to show their ID many things that they do throughout the day such as going to the bank, or showing ID for a package at the bank, or showing an officer an ID when getting pulled over. Its not like they are asking people to get a new identification card or anything, its something that everyone carries, or should carry, on a daily basis. It does not provide any new inconvenience for voters. There is absolutely no reason this law shouldn’t be passed. It is good to keep the right people voting on election day. The controversy over this proposition is ridiculous to me. I agree with you when you say that this law should have been enacted a long time ago. It ensures that the right people are voting- the people that are registered and American citizens.
