The ID is free and easily and readily obtainable.
It can be obtain where all other IDs can DMV, Passport, court house for weapons permits etc and at the polling places at certain times.
Also the VOTING ID isnt required to vote other picture IDs are also acceptable, Drivers license, Passport, military ID etc.
as always if theres a problem with ID you still get to vote special ballot and will have a time frame to work it out.
Yes
No

I would definitely support it under these conditions.
As long as it was instituted well before an election so that people have time to educate themselves on the matter (IE: don't pass this crap 4 weeks before the election) then I'd be perfectly fine with it.
This is Georgia's voter ID law. Its free, easy to get, etc.
not familiar with it but im curious is that all that was in the bill or were things piggy packed on it like no Sunday voting, changes to absentee ballots, no same day registration, no district or voting poll lines, only voting ID accepted and or any supplied ID much be identical to voter registration log etc
Having the polling station issue yo ID so you can vote at the polling station is a little far-fetched. I'd be okay with using alternate forms of ID like expired ID's if, in exchange, same day registrations were ended.

thanks ill check it out, like i said i was just curious
As long as those IDs require that you actually show up in person, and present a birth certificate/certificate of naturalization/certifcate of none avaliability of a birth certificate( in rare cases a individual has no birth certificate and it has been investigated that the individual was born in the US to get this certificate) and S.S. card then sure.
For the longest time all one had to do was walk into the polling place, fill out your sheet of paper and go vote. But around ten years ago my neighbor went to vote one afternoon only to find out someone had already voted for her in the morning. The country had around 20 of these that they knew about. She rarely voted, so who ever did vote in her name probably took that into consideration. This was in the late 90's and that was when Georgia first started considering the photo ID law. When it was finally passed the law didn't take effect until two years later giving people plenty of time to get a photo ID if they didn't have one.
Voter identification was tighten up around 2000 to make one show an ID or two utility bills with name and address on. This was done by our Democratic Governor and state legislature then, so this move to a photo ID law wasn't much of a partisan thing. I think it was in 2004 or there abouts the current law was passed after we elected our first Republican Governor ever in 2002 and the Republicans for the first time in our history took over the state legislature. The law has worked out fine.

see im all for ID laws that involve things that deal with ID
IN pa for decades ive have always been asked for ID to vote, im not sure what happens when you dont have it but im always asked. Then they look at it, scroll down the registered voters list , verify and mark me as voted.
and like i actually just posted to james, my opinions are based off of what ive been exposed too.
Seems we were a bit behind PA down here. But based on each individuals experiences that is where opinions are drawn. Nothing wrong with that. Georgia is one southern state where its ID law was never challenged. That in itself makes it unique.
i wouldnt even mind if one didnt show up in person but yes mathcing info would have to be supplied, DL ID#, SS#, fax or scan of BC etc.
but mind you this is going off of what im used to.
IN pa for decades ive have always been asked for ID to vote, im not sure what happens when you dont have it but im always asked. Then they look at it, scroll down the registered voters list , verify and mark me as voted.
Now if something different happens else where maybe i would change my mind on this.
but my point is there could be somebody that fakes my ID and votes for me but the flag is going to be raised if i already voted, or am not registered or i vote later.
some one could fake being me but they would have to know i dont vote and get some of my info and fake an ID.
SO under those condition im ok with obtaining a ID online providing some info
Only citizens should vote. Prove it. A state picture id is easy to get and cheap. Get one. Prove who you are to vote.
Voter ID laws being racist imply that minorities aren't smart enough to get an ID. That is racist in itself. Minorities are just as capable as anyone to get identification. We need identification to buy cigarettes, beer and to drive. Certainly voting is as important as cigarettes and beer, well, cigarettes.

why? drivers licences and renew carry permits are issued on the spot so i dont see it being far fetched at all
but i do agree it doesn't HAVE to be done if other IDs are acceptable
