Baer, I have never failed to vote and have done so for over 50 years and have found nothing wrong with being asked for identification. If they don’t, I could claim to be anyone and vote several times.

I’m with Joshua. What a load of bunk. How difficult is it for any legal voter to get ID? Not at all. Quit looking for excuses and get out and get your life together and get the required ID. The rules are the same for everyone.

Or, forget about voting and live allowing others to decide this county’s direction. The professional victims are getting a little old with their complaints about everything.

Shannon – evidently you have not voted lately because if you had, you would have been asked for your identification and that would have been validated against a list the poll workers’ list of registered voters. That is the way it has been since I’ve been voting for 52 years.

Yuma if your father was a hard working white man how did you take that fact to minorities? I know in Texas the only reason Johnson won as a senator was because of all the votes from the grave. The replubicans knew this but didn’t want to raise a stink. Guess you would rather have the Democratic way of voting which is anything goes as long as a Democrat wins. You also failed to mention the poll tax was a long time ago

Guess people just think voting should be a free for all. Everything I do asks for identification so guess if you don’t have a job or work you probably don’t have the ambition to get one. Am tired of hearing about the poor Americans having such hardships, Americans today don’t even know what hardships are they just like to complain about everything. Baer as far as only a handful of bogus votes give me a break, so you think in the whole US only 10. I have some ocean front property in Arizona for sale for you.

My father didn’t vote in one major election because of Texas’ poll tax, yet another ploy to keep minorities from voting, even though my father was a hard-working white man who had very limited discretionary funds in his budget. The assault against voters by Republican legislatures is not just tricky and dirty, it’s downright unpatriotic and anti-democracy, a disgrace to American exceptionalism.

Really Joshua. How about the fact that there have only been a handful (like a total of 10) of bogus votes in the past Presidential election? You think that justifies robbing citizens of their votes and spending all kinds of money?

What a bunch of bunk. You have to show an ID for driving, signing checks, etc. Republicans have nothing to do with it. Democrats just want the masses to be able to vote without proving citizenship. Get a clue. Why would anyone vote Dem.
