Hell in a Handbasket

Well, call me calloused, but if people are too lazy to go to a local DMV, fill out one piece of paper and show a birth certificate, social security card or other proof of who they are and where they live, that is their problem. It can be done in one day, and even in small towns where the DMV is not open every day, certainly within the week and, it's far more than a week until the election.

If they are too lazy or don't care enough about the issues to do that, then they are probably too lazy or don't care enough about the issues to get out and go to the poles to vote anyway.

Joke or not, he was skewing reality to prove a point, and that's bad no matter who does it or why. Same as if I said "As more gay men moved into the area, sales of fruit flavored cocktails and purple shirts went up, therefore all gay men like those things." When in reality there was a new club that served only fruit cocktails that opened that week and, Wal Mart had put purple t-shirts with the local high school logo on them on sale foe 1.00. and, one gay couple just happened to move into town that week.

I honestly don't see how requiring ID to vote is a big deal. People that want to and are in fact eligible to vote won't have a problem getting proper ID, better than one person going in five times under different names. And if you think that doesn't happen, just hang around this town on election day. You'll hear plenty of "Yeah, I'm voting early so I can go later and vote for my dad, then my brother, then I can get to the next town and vote for my cousin and his brother too."
