Carding the voter, a no-brainer

It seems clear to me that requiring that the voter present photo identification when they vote is a reasonable requirement and expectation. To rent a DVD, or to purchase a package of cigarettes or a six pack of beer, or to cash a check require a photo identification to insure the person is qualified to make a purchase because of age or to furnish proof that you are who you claim to be.

To oppose the photo identification of the voter is to either be complicit in potential illegalities and irregularities or to sabotage the election process itself. If it is your desire to permit multiple voting or to permit illegal aliens or other unregistered voters to vote than you would be against the voter identification. I am convinced that there is a nefarious intent behind the opposition to voter identification.

I saw an article on NewsBusters.com this afternoon written by Ken Shepherd, which cited a story on the Politico Blog about MTV's Rock the Vote (RtV) project submitting a friend-of-the-court brief in favor of overturning a law requiring voters furnish photo identification before casting a ballot in the state of Indiana.

Shepherd concluded his article with these words, “By filing a brief in support of a Democratic lawsuit aimed at striking photo ID requirements, RtV shows a disregard for its ostensible non-partisan mission, as well as disrespect for conservative and Republican MTV viewers who care about guarding the electoral process from abuse by voter fraud.”

It seems to me that RtV, the Democrat Party and other left wingers want to be able to count the votes of the dead, the unregistered, felons, the illegal aliens in November, perhaps just as it is alleged is done in Chicago during every election.
