In short, it's un-American.

exactly. its making people jump through hoops. I think another reason is younger voters...they're trying to get them to think all the trouble isn't worth it. Younger voters vote blue

You said that without producing your I.D. Therefore, it doesn't count.

I have to disagree
I made a post a while back, about how stereotypically young people are all left wingers, but in reality young people's political orientations mirror society as a whole

Wait, at 18 years of age you are legally required to have a state I.D. if you don't have a drivers license. In fact your legally required to carry said I.D. on you at all times when you leave your home. So by that very reasoning why would it be an issue to show said I.D. before you vote? Jump through hoops? If they don't already have a valid I.D. chances are they shouldn't vote because they probably are not citizens!

I love how the OP starts a thread then never shows back to actually engage in a discussion. You sir are a flaming hack.

He just thinks this is something that will disproportionately affect his political side. If he thought this would hurt the republicans more he'd be all for it.
