OT - It's about frakkin' time

And this will cut the number of fraudulent votes cast each election by how much? 10,000? 100,000? 1,000,000? Am I too low?

Absolutely. If you want to understand motivations of certain political organizations (ACLU and certain civil rights groups), all you have to do is look at their stand on this issue. Not establishing identity for voting is 100% indefensible - period.

What is your opposition to requiring identification to vote?

So you are against voter ID?

The Dims already put in a counter-measure to the voter ID requirement in

1993, it's called the Clinton Motor Voter (Fraud) law. When you change address or get a new driver's license, they want to know if you want to register to vote. Most states don't check new addresses THAT closely when changing your driver's license.

In 2000, it was estimated that in LA county alone over 70,000 illegal or fraudulent votes were cast. Imagine natiionwide numbers.

Cite, including the number of those votes that were counted as valid.

Do your own homework. I read it in the San Diego Union Tribune.

My answer is I don't know the answer. Source: me.

"I don't know" isn't an answer, but anybody who doesn't know should logically not have an opinion on this issue.

How much voter fraud has been caused by that law, and how many elections were counted incorrectly due to such fraud?

Cite. Also how many fraudulent votes were left undetected after the

1-3 months between the elections and the inaugurations or vote certifications, and which election outcomes were changed because of that fraud?

It really does not matter what anyone in this NG "thinks," the Supreme Court has ruled. The individual states have the right to determine that the people choosing to cast a vote must prove they are a person that has the right to cast a vote. If the states make us prove we have the right to drive a car, or drink alcohol, surly we must prove we are who we are when we want to vote

Have fun.

Some things you don't need to quantify. You are for or against on principle. I know that's a dirty word these days. There is no readon

*not* to require voter ID. Absolutely none.

And - yes - "I don't know" is an answer.

It's a matter of principle and common sense.
