Just as a side note, I had to have a picture ID at a doctor’s office (to use my medical insurance of course), to use my credit card, and even to rent a post office box. So what is the big deal with voting? I don’t think it’s too much to ask people to prove they are citizens either. I personally think one should have to provide such proof before receiving any benefits the government provides. I don’t believe illegals should be able to get licenses (and believe me MD MVA is shooting them out faster than you can imagine – they had to restrict the days foreigners can come in for paper review to receive a license due to extremely heavy backups and lines starting outside the MVA at dawn).

I know it may sound harsh but I think our country has come to the point where we need to make some adjustments to ensure our safety. I don’t see why that’s such a big problem – especially when it comes to voting.

While not impossible, it is pretty hard to make fake IDs out of our licenses.

I am not in favor of the Real ID (though they would be tough to fake) but I am in favor of requiring an ID to vote. Your fake ID would have to match the name of a registered voter and would cut down on fraud.

A lot of people have fake ID’s. They can buy them online for less than 30.00 and these look real, feel real and are hard to detect as fraudulent. No doc**entation is needed to get one; a picture is all one needs, and the cash. This is why so many people my way are against a REAL ID law. I bought an online ID- and brought it to the local DMV to see if they noted anything suspicious. They didn’t…and the name on the ID was my FATHER’s. He was a MAN who died 20 yrs ago.

I only think you should prove you are a citizen when you register to vote. In Maryland you can register when you get your driver’s license (Motor voter) so when Illegals come in and Maryland gives them a license (no questions asked) they are ushered to a desk where a lady asks if they want to register to vote. If they do, bam illegals voting.

If you had to have a birth certificate or some other ID to prove you are a citizen when you register then it would make things easier. We should treat this process as we do getting a passport.

Showing an ID is one thing, but proving you are a citizen? That’s going to far.
I find it funny how Democrats think it is an infringment on the right to vote for a person to prove they are who they say they are. Only on the left could that be an unfair burden. The vast right wing conspiracy must still be alive.
