The Democrats like to talk about how voter IDs are like a poll tax. I would really like to tell someone the next time they demand a photo ID that they're trampling on my civil rights. Problem is that probably won't work for me because I'm not important enough like Rand Paul to refuse government regulation and not go to jail like he did when he refused a TSA patdown.
Here is my list of reasons for which we are required to show a photo ID: To buy beer To pick up kids from school To use a credit card To prove our identity if arrested To complete an I-9 form for employment To get a passport To fly on an airplane To rent a car To cash a cheque To use the gym To attend classes at school To be identified as an employee at work To enter Sams/Costco To buy cigarettes To see a doctor To take a test To get a library card To get a prescription drug To enter a club or bar or nightclub
But not to vote. You can vote if you claim to be you, even if you aren't that you that you claim to be. In Nevada, you do have to show your ID at least once, either when you register or the first time you vote if you didn’t at the time of registration.
If Republicans were the ones usually involved in voter fraud, they would probably ask us for fingerprints or DNA tests to verify our identity, but the Democrats will even allow pets and zombies to vote. It's duplicitous for them to require it for some things but not for something fundamentally critical to the integrity of our political process. Then again, they rely on that and always have to win elections by cheating.
