Following the chaotic elections of 2020, Americans wanted commonsense reforms to strengthen the security of elections. One of the most commonsense reforms, already the law in most states, is requiring voters to prove they are who they say they are by providing a photo ID.
Georgia was one of the states that enacted voter ID as far back as 2005. After 2020, it extended verification requirements to mail ballots.
This simple requirement, that voters use a numeric code unique to each voter, caused the Left to go into a frenzy. It was 1958 all over again, we were told. Stacey Abrams called the new law “Jim Crow 2.0” and unsuccessfully challenged it in court. Even President Joe Biden chimed in calling the law “Jim Crow in the 21st century.” Major League Baseball pulled the All-Star game from Atlanta citing the state’s new voting law as being too restrictive. Coca-Cola called the measure a “step backward” that would “diminish or deter access to voting.”
Who knew requiring an ID to vote would trigger so many corporations?
Opponents of voter ID are content to marginalize so many racial minorities to the fringes of American life. Being content with so many not possessing photo ID is being content with so many not being able to get married, fly on a plane, check into a hotel, or buy a firearm.
In this past election, data show that turnout in Georgia went up. The Peach State had record early voter turnout in both the general and runoff elections in 2022. More people participate in a process when they trust a process. If voters believe in the integrity of the outcome, they will cast a ballot no matter the outcome.
Georgia is not the only state to enact this commonsense reform. Florida, Texas, and most recently Ohio have passed voter ID laws.
This is good news for the integrity of our elections. Not only does voter ID ensure that a voter is who he says he is, but also increases voter confidence in our election process.
Voter ID is the most basic election reform a state can make to dramatically increase the security of their elections. We need to ensure that everyone voting is who they say they are.
That is why voter ID is so popular with the American people. According to a Monmouth poll, 80 percent of Americans support requiring voters to show photo identification in order to cast a ballot.
Only 15 states lack some form of ID requirement. The opponents of voter ID laws are the outliers.
There are other benefits to having a voter ID law in place. For example, I have encountered election crime investigations where a prosecution for double voting does not proceed because there is no voter ID law in one state. It is harder to prove that someone actually cast a ballot when a state does not require proof of identity.
Voter ID also speeds up election check-in and reduces long lines. In Florida, for example, every driver’s license has a QR code that links to the state voter database, requiring a second or two for voters to check in and receive a ballot.
We can all agree that we only want legal votes to count. With photo ID, we can help voters trust that everyone voting is who they say they are while at the same time improve election administration.
Every state should have voter ID at every election to insure the integrity of all elections whether it be at the local or federal elections!
If you have to show an ID to buy liquor, why not to vote!
Every state should be required to have ID to vote! We have to have ID for everything else, why wouldn’t we require it to vote for the people we want to represent us as legal citizens.
They are against it, because they want all the new illegals to be able to vote in our next elections, that’s why.
The U.S. is the only Western nation that does not require Voter ID to vote. The U.S. is also the only Western nation that allows voting on other than Election Day. And the U.S. is the only Western nation that has problems with voter registration ad election fraud.
The Democrats oppose Voter ID and want “Election Day” to be months long. Why? Because they can’t cheat in order to steal elections they know they would lose without cheating.
FASCIST liberals can’t rig and steal elections if everybody has to show I.D. and they can’t get help from their ILLEGAL ALIENS to vote ILLEGALLY to help rig and steal elections.
So of course they will fight against anything that is Constitutional and American to ensure FAIR elections.
How else can they get elected except by committing FRAUD.
Just look who’s in the White House
ILLEGALLY and UNCONSTITUTIONALLY who HIDE
SENSITIVE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS in MORE places than one including in his garage by his corvette.
You can do all of those requirements but just before you put them into the computer, ADD THEM UP BY HAND and write down the numbers. Anything can happen after going into the computers. Just ask the My Pillow guy.
Where is the headline question answered; Why are Democrats dead against them?
This article asks the question “Why Are Democrats Dead Against Them?” but doesn’t answer their own question. I think that most of us have a good idea as to why Democrats are against good voter ID laws: They want to keep on stealing elections as they did in 2020 and 2022. That is the reason why Democrats are dead against them!!!
You can’t do anything in life with your clothes on, that you don’t need an I.D., here are the a few of the places you need an I.D., to Drive a Car, to Buy Cancer sticks, to buy Alcohol, to get a Credit Card or a Bank Account, to Buy a Firearm (Legally), to get a Passport, To Fly on an Airplane (Except the High Jackers on 9-11), to buy a Hunting or Fishing License, to go on a Military Base, to buy Health or Life Insurance,
There is only one reason that the Democrats don’t want everyone to have an I.D., Guess what that reason is folks, ———-SO THEY CAN CHEAT, VOTE TWICE, STUFF THE BALLOT BOX, HARVEST BALLOTS FROM THE ELDERLY.
As long as we don’t have voter I.D., we will not have fair Elections, after Biden, we cannot trust the election process nationwide, only on a small scale in remote areas where results on local issues do not impact the national outcome.
It’s all about cheating and nothing else.
God Save America!
Amen!!!!! Voter ID is NOT a step backwards other than it should have happened years ago!!!!!
Dems, and many RINOs are about only themselves. They’re criminal, the lot of them. If We the People return to honest elections then they’re toast and they know it.
Democrats have been so accustomed to dishonesty, I guess they forgotten how to be honest!
Why Can’t the Supreme Court rule that Voter I D and English is the Nations Languish, be required?
ONLY American with ID to prove it can Vote, PERIOD.
It makes it a lot harder to double, triple nor quadruple vote and cheat. That’s why. Democrats can not win anything honestly.
All representatives that are against voter ID is because they are following orders from the establishment that want to maintain political power by committing continuous election frauds.
Two words…
Voter Fraud
Didn’t even have to read the story to figure that out.
The only way to assure ourselves of valid elections is to verify the identification of every single voter. The Democrats are complete and total frauds and I wouldn’t elect them for dog catcher let alone trust them to guarantee the validity of the vote.
They wouldn’t be able to cheat.
It would make it more difficult for them to cheat.
Voter ID is a good start, but we need to go back to the old way of voting before the pandemic!!!! Mail in ballots need to be limited to service members serving overseas !!! People who are disabled and unable to get out of their house to vote!!!!! Until we get back to this there will be no more fair elections!!!!! Without this it will very easy to cheat and next to impossible to prove fraud!!!!!
Fraud and cheating are very very difficult when and ID is required. Cheat/fraud program presently in place flourishes because IDs are optional and racist.
One day voting! Without I.D. requirements, the Dems could get 30 or 40 million extra votes.
The dem’s are set against voter ID because they want to steal elections. Period! You need an ID for about everything else that requires a positive identification and is important, like signing a document with a notary, like boarding an airplane, like cashing a check in a bank, like getting a driver’s license, I could go on and on. So why do the liberal left want no ID’s, that way the slime ball left, including illegals, can vote as many times as they want. Elections are now in many places very corrupt, why in God’s name do we want to make them even easier to steal????
A Well Founded and Actuate Voter ID MUST Be in Place for Any Person to Vote in Any Local, State and Federal Future Election!!!! Paper Ballots MUST be Banned, Except for the few voters who are Verified as unable to vote in person, Corrupt Voting Machines MUST Be Banned, and Those Who Verify Votes MUST Be Verified !!!!
You have to ask why the Democrats are against voter laws???? They know that a majority of Americans want to retain Capitalism and the Constitution. They are seeking to end BOTH. To them the Constitution simply holds them back from turning us into a Communist country aligned with the other Communist countries.
Some of the states in this last election was an embarrassment and should work on cleaning up their acts. California and Arizona are 2 I can think of right off the bat.
The demo/socialist party will always be against anything that hampers their cheating and stealing of votes. Of course now it really doesn’t matter any more. They openly cheat and lie and dare anyone to do anything about it. Biden has been an inveterate liar his entire political career and he became president. Of course, it was by cheating and lying.
BECAUSE liberals ARE CANCEROUS, ANTI-AMERICAN, ,LIARS , CHEATERS AND THE ENEMY OF OUR NATION. DEPORT ALL liberals AND illegals, STAT, TO MAGA
In South Carolina- you should have heard some the the most asinine excuses against voter ID. Excuse to be given then answer to the pitiful excuses. It cost too much–SC we will provide them FREE. People don’t have a way to get down to offices to get the ID-SC, we will mail them to them. These are just two-but ANY person of integrity can see what these foolish excuses WERE- Just bullshirt-with the r in shirt removed. Harrison had over $130,000,000 in OUT OF STATE contributions given to him and still got his ARSE kicked–WHY–VOTER ID. The evil Dim Wit party will do ANYTHING to steal an election.. The party of abortion- Democrats will not let anything that is decent and Godly survive-IF we don’t confront them.
NC voters approved the voter ID, and a judge denied it. How can that be, they don’t listen to the people! So much corruption!
i’m pretty sure that those of us with common sense know why the dums bring illegals here so they can vote for the dumos. no surprise there! just goes to show you that the dums are corrupt and do corrupt things
Proof of citizenship and voter ID or we will never have a fair election. socialist democrats want to turn this country into communism with total government control. We must stop or lose our country.
Several years ago the issue was put to the voters in North Carolina. It won overwhelmingly. Then a federal judge, appointed by Obama, decided the people’s desires don’t count and ruled the vote illegal. To this day we don’t require voter ID. How sad and disgusting.
They know and we know; without ID it is much easier for the DEMs to cheat. That’s how they win. But the Republican politicians can change this, but they don’t.
Voter ID law would eliminate cheating Not in the dems. script
Democrats are against voter ID laws because they would make stealing elections much more difficult. There is nothing unreasonable about expecting any citizen to produce a photo ID in order to vote. Such IDs are reasonably required for many activities.
Because they need to cheat to win.
Democrats are against voter id becuase it implies in person voting.
The democrats primary voter fraud system is pre-filled printed ballots. Without those the democrat can not win elections.
So push for national voter id, national voter registration, and then once you have those go for 100% in person voting.
I am force to get a Real ID in Pa. It was hard to find out where to get it and it was a pain in the neck. If I want to ride SEPTA I must have a special ID for that. But mercy, never force me to show ID to vote. Because it is too hard for some people to figure out how to get one. Right. I believe that. Really I do.
they CHEAT that is the only way they can win. their policies are really destructive to our country
Demorats don’t want voter I.D. how else can they cheat on the votes? This is just outright nonsense.
As an NC resident I was delighted when voter ID was a ballot measure. My wife and I voted for it and it passed. North Carolinians have been fighting for it ever since as every left pressure group and leftist judges strike it down. We want it, we need it, darn it, we voted for it so, let us have it.
The answer is simple. The Democrats can steal elections more easily if there is no voter ID requirement. Hence they will continue to try to federalize elections and stop oter ID laws.
Demonrats just have to s t e a l elections.
Voter ID is actually “mandated” in the 14th amendment where it declares ONLY citizens of age can vote; and the ONLY way to accomplish that is to verify it by positive voter ID proving citizenship and age.
Great article subject, right on all points!!!
Does Bidens’ illegal immigrants have picture I.D.s’?
This article blames Dems for USA not requiring voter ID. Republicans control the house now so will they pass a bill requiring Voter ID ? The Senate might stop this, but I believe that enough Dems would vote yes on this. Then , will Biden veto the bill ? Now is time for Republicans to push this through.
Sounds to me like the liberal,socialist democ rats are just a little miffed because voter I.D. makes it one step harder to cheat,which they are very good at.
