Media Endorsements of Presidential Candidates

[festive1]

In Pennsylvania where the voter ID law was put on hold for the 2012 election, they are putting up signs in heavily minority areas, in Spanish, saying you have to have an ID to vote.... That's pretty low.

We're so far apart here dear. I think people should have to show an ID to vote. I can't think of any responsible way otherwise to keep people from voting illegally. If illegal voting didn't favor one party so heavily (Democrats) this wouldn't be an issue at all.

I'm not opposed to having to show ID to vote. My problem lies in the fact that for some, obtaining a valid form of identification is unduly difficult and cost prohibitive. If state issued ID's were free and didn't necessitate having people get official copies of their birth certificates (which some people can't afford the $20 needed to obtain a copy), I'd be a-okay showing my ID, and expecting others do to the same.
