    It should be free and that would take away the voter suppression argument.

    I think in the states that have the law it's already free - I'm not sure but it seems like it's usually part of the legislation.

    Ohio and such is cheap, but you can vote with a bank statement or bill or something - don't need ID

    Would a Mexican or Nicaragua ID suffice I wonder?

        Awesome argument, Steve...

        Here, here... as with the supporting documents to obtain the ID.

        The problem is that more voter fraud occurs through means other than in person... and more occurs during mass registration campaigns than at elections... especially when companies are paid to register voters.

        Thank you. I assumed if it wasn't somebody might actually be able to refute it.

        Reason being that some people are too poor or not smart enough or incompetent or too uninterested or too shiftless to scratch together some sort of identification and vote .

        Now granted there is probably not a lot of voter fraud but somebody's making a big deal out of this situation.

        What would you guess this is?

                    Yes they do. And they should have an identification. Same as any other thing you do in society.

                        Im with Steve...what's it take to get an ID?.....$5 bucks and an hour of your time.....if you cant accomplish that, then should you participate in making important decisions?....I dont think so....

                        Nothing is "free"....just as is argued all over this page, who's paying for that "free" ID?

                        Wouldnt that be a socialist policy?....free ID's for everybody?

                            Well....I guess it's semantics....I see it as charging a fee 'for an ID".....not to vote....and think everyone should have an ID anyway. ...and it makes sense to confirm who you are prior to casting a vote....and a valid ID is how you do that....

                            Honestly, why get so uptight about a $5 ID....???....especially in this day and age of concern about illegals, terrorists, etc,etc,etc....

                            Were losing certain rights left and right, in the name of security....and a $5 ID is an issue?...bah

                              Absolutely no problem with a free ID. But just like Woody I think there should be some sort of test for voting.

                              One test is probably the lowest rung and that's giving enough of the shit to do the slightest bit of effort to vote.

                                It is the democratic party who fights voter ID laws. I don't think $5 for an ID should be an issue and responsible people should have ID but it is the democrats who are the ones filing the lawsuits and making the argument it is voter ID laws that discriminate against blacks, Hispanics and lower income people. If I were a black or Hispanic, I would be extremely offended at such an argument because they are basically saying that they are not smart enough or capable enough to obtain a voter ID like you and me are. Their argument is very racially demeaning and insensitive.

                                Anyway for me I want to see voter ID upheld and if giving one out for free ends the debate I say do it.

                                    Nobody charges a fee to register a gun?

                                    Concealed carry requires a decent fee though

                                      There's an article about fees to own guns.

                                      Speaking of constitutional, which it isn't, there is a fee for a wedding license.

                                        Thank lawd for Ohio. I've seen some of these states restrict magazine capacity and such - which would also suck. Does 10 rounds versus 15 really make a difference? You can kill a giant with 10 rounds.

                                          Oh you can kill with a Derringer.

                                          Whittling away at firepower is just a slippery slope.

                                          It isn't that hard to understand is it?
