Total Nonsense

Steve Chapman says that Republicans make much ado about nothing regarding voter ID. He says that there are no documented cases of voter impersonation. That's total nonsense. My question to Steve is, if we don't require a voter to prove he's who he says he is, how are we to document it if he's not? See, Steve, you unwittingly make the argument FOR voter ID.

Steve says that requiring voter ID is akin to prescribing morphine for a hangnail. We don't have problems with voter fraud. Since we aren't checking ID's, how do we know there is no voter fraud? I guess Steve missed the recent news about 35,000 double votes in North Carolina and all the voters who cast votes in more than one state. And that doesn't even include the 81 dead people who voted.

The anti-voter ID people are amusing. They insist that Republicans don't want people to vote. However, Republicans haven't said one word about not allowing people to vote. It's much more accurate to say that Democrats want to steal our votes by flood the polls with people who don't have the right to vote at all, much less two or three times or posthumously.
