He's either a liar or very ignorant. There is no evidence whatsoever people are voting illegally, but there's plenty of evidence that shows people are being disenfranchised by these voter id laws.

Charging fees to get government issued IDs in order to vote is a poll tax. Poll taxes are unconstitutional.
Can you explain to me how giving to everybody a state issued ID, paid for from the budget, a cheap plastic card, replaced every 10 years starting from 14, is going to suppress liberals and minorities and help the GOP. And i mean explain it. Don't do what James D Hill does, and that's just repeat the same rhetoric. I mean explain it like it makes sense.
Why is it unconstitional to show an ID to purchase a gun? The second amendment doesn't say anything about purchasing a gun. The constitution doesn't guarentee that you can or will purchase a gun...only that you have the right to keep and bear arms. Guns have to be manufactured before you can buy one and there are no guarentees that guns will be manufactured so you can buy one.Requiring someone to have an ID to purchase a gun is unconstitutional as well. Do you object to that, or is that one of those "oh, that isn't so bad" things?

shall not be infringed

Then show me the law that says private companies have to manufacture guns so you can purchase one.My ability to keep an arm is dependent on my ability to purchase one. No infringing.

There is a 24th amendment against poll taxing the right to vote. What do you have to prove that guns will be manufactured for you to purchase so you can exercise your right to own one?Look at the post above yours.
The point is, you're very broad and absolutist about voting but not guns. That's inconsistent. Your concern with the constitution is merely a political tool and not really any concern for the rights guaranteed therein. You're willing to use it or throw it away at partisan convenience.
You're the one who thinks the government has to manufacture guns so you can have access to exercise your right to buy and own one."Shall not be infringed", not "shall be provided".
You think being free of government interference means the government must insure you get things? What a strange and pervasive confusion.

I showed the 24th amendment that prohibits a poll tax. If a fee is required to get an ID to vote then that could be considered a poll tax to vote.And you haven't proven that it's unconstitutional to show an ID to vote... or drink, or work, or get a lease, or drive, or any of the thousands of things you need an ID for.
Read the NPR link I provided.I think IDs should be subsidized for low income families, but you claiming that this is some sinister plan is ridiculous. Where are these people without IDs living if they can't get a lease, a job, or drive?
The right to exercise certain rights is not a guarentee that you "will" exercise certain rights. For instance, you have the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness but there are no guarentees that you won't be killed or put in jail or be happy.Complete and utter nonsense. You can't really do anything, to include getting a lease or getting a job in 2013 without an ID. An ID is so standard that it's not an undue burden on anybody.
Then show me the law that says private companies have to manufacture guns so you can purchase one.

Thats probably why I didn't say it.that's as silly as saying a company has to manufacture printing presses so you can publish something
Thats probably why I didn't say it.
The freedom of the press is supposedly a guarenteed right...but the government can still put a sales tax on newspapers and the purchase of printing presses, paper and the income of journalists.
The right to keep and bear arms doesn't mean you will. That would be like saying the government has to provide you the arms, so you can keep and bear them.the bottom line is-a denial of the ability to purchase a gun infringes on the second amendment when a GOVERNMENT engages in the denial

If you can't afford to buy a gun, then is the government infringing on your right to own and use one?
