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

    Even if you don't like them.

      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?

        sure nothing is free

          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

                      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.

                          The best part of voter ID is somehow the 90 year old woman at the polls will be able to spot a fake. If people want to commit fraud they'll find a way to do it. Based on national voting statistics there is more of a problem with people not participating than there is with the people that do.

                                I don't mind processing fees if they are legit. The idea that they can be raised

                                high to make money off it, for other reasons, or to price the registration/licenses fees

                                so high as to make them unpayable... is the slippery slope that liberals in gov will happily

                                slide down as far as our 2nd Amendment goes, and maybe SUV's and pickup trucks....

                                and racists could use that slippery slope to exclude the poor from voting, etc.

                                It's using economics as a weapon.

                                  Not a very good argument sir. Tax cheats child molesters crack pushers and rapists will find a way to do it. Doesn't mean it shouldn't be against the law does it?

                                    Steve going full on Cal, nice. Good analogy between voter fraud and child molestation. The question is to what lengths should the federal government go to try to eliminate voter fraud. IMO, none. Of the issues that need to be solved concerning the election of candidates it doesn't rank in my top 5, campaign finance, term limits, participation, electoral college vs popular vote & gerrymandering because I'll save you from asking. Illegals electing Democrats is another tin foil hat theory.

                                      Oh please. Okay if you're so offended by the comparison you pick any of the hundreds of things that require identification, and tell me why we should eliminate them. Because, you know, people are going to cheat anyway.

                                        You aren't talking about eliminating something that already exists you are talking about adding a requirement.
