Photo ID for Voting

   

        Does requiring photo identification for voting discriminate?  I think it might descriminate against the working class in this country.  Since they work 40 hours or more, it could be difficult for them to have time to go get a photo ID.

        Since working America might include more traditional families, independents, Republicans, conservatives, Constitutionalists, Libertarians, and whites, would requiring a photo ID discriminate against these groups?  This agreement and logic sounds a little ridiculous, but not much more ridiculous than any argument against requiring photo identification for voting.

        The argument that requiring photo identification disenfranchises poor, old, and minority groups is just as ridiculous.  This argument is just plain BS and clearly politically motivated.  If someone has time to vote, they have time to get photo identification.  Photo identification is required for many things like buying cigarettes, alcoholic beverages and admission to various activities.  Photo identification is required for many students and to get on an airplane. 

        I have worked as an Election Inspector in Wisconsin, and the state passed legislation requiring photo identification starting at the beginning of 2012.  This law has never been implemented due to the delaying actions of various Progressive judges.  I really have problem with judicial braches of government becoming legislatures.  

        The only requirement for an individual to vote that was registered to vote is to show up at the polling place, and state their name and address two times.  There is no check as to who they are, and unless an Election Inspector knows the individual personally, they could be anybody. 

The new law still did not require any photo identification to register to vote.  The only requirement for registering in Wisconsin is to show up with a printed document or statement of some sort with their name and address.   They then check the U.S. citizen box.  The only check the election official does is to check a felony list.  People can register at the voting location, and vote the same day.  There is no waiting period.

        The only thing requiring photo identification does is eliminate people not eligible to vote like illegal aliens.  Sorry, I need to say Undocumented Worker to be politically correct, but I never claimed to be politically correct.   

        There is a joke often told in Wisconsin that may actually have some basis in fact.  It goes like this.  There are both Republicans and Democrats in Milwaukee, but once they die, they all vote Democrat.
