Voter ID Hypocrisy


Following are some of the false and hypocritical reasons given for making sure that we don't really know who's voting and if they are actual citizens.




  • “Unfair voting laws are being passed by politicians who are trying to manipulate the system for their own benefit – because they don’t like what voters have to say.”
  • “It’s wrong to pass laws for political gain that take away the right to vote from millions of eligible citizens, including seniors and veterans.”
  • “As the world’s leading democracy, we can’t pass laws that block some eligible Americans from voting, or that deny them the opportunity to participate equally in our democracy.”
  • “Emphasize the need for flexibility in ID laws, and that ‘one size doesn’t fit all.’”

The reason I say each of these is hypocritical is because they pretend that there is no voter fraud. They pretend that everyone that votes is a citizen or even alive. We have yet to hear of one documented case of an actual citizen who was denied the right to vote, but we have already seen many cases of voter fraud.

Isn't it unfair to the citizens who are alive and legal to have their votes stolen or nullified by those who are not citizens or even by dead people? Yet they want to fight against people showing a simple ID. Their justification for being against ID is completely fallacious. You can't even get a library card without showing ID, and certainly you couldn't get into the Democratic convention without showing one. The party of inclusion most certainly wants to include those who have no right to vote in the hope that it will turn thing in their favor.

They state above that we are the worlds leading Democracy which again shows they don't even know what form of government we have. We are a republic... more specifically we are a democratic republic which is not at all the same thing as a democracy. Our founding fathers saw the dangers of a democracy and so they decided we wouldn't have one. It is communists and socialists, and progressives that like to declare a democracy.

I am not for having to "show our papers" when we are just out walking on the streets, but I do not have a problem with a person having to identify themselves as an American in order to vote. At one time we probably didn't need to worry very much about that issue and so laws were fairly lax, but we now have between 12 and 20 million illegal people in this country. That's a lot of votes and no I don't think our laws should be such that we are so afraid of taking away one person's vote for the sake of allowing millions of others to vote who shouldn't. This would clearly be worse for the system than not requiring some sort of proof of citizenship. Realistically a license doesn't even prove it, but it is still better than nothing.
