It baffles me that anyone would oppose the idea of having to present identification when voting. The fact that the whole Voter ID issue has blown up like it has just shows how screwed up our country really is when it comes to accomplishing even the simplest of tasks. Casting a vote is a guaranteed right to all U.S. citizens. Key term there being U.S. Citizen. Not illegal immigrants, dead people, or anyone else.
Democrats complain that requiring Voter ID is a "voting tax" and that it "discriminates against minorities" and so on. I say BS. A single vote could potentially decide who will be our next member of congress, our next governor, or even our next president. It's that important.
You can't even get a library card without some kind of ID, and despite the way I feel about the importance of books, I am pretty sure that the ability to decide who becomes the next POTUS may be just a tad more important.
