Swept up in the craze of preventing widespread voter fraud that doesn’t actually exist, Tennessee Republicans passed a voter identification law this year that they claimed would put an end to fraud and ensure fair elections. Like similar laws in other states, Tennessee’s version has come under scrutiny from voting rights advocates, civil rights groups like the NAACP and ACLU, and even Democratic senators, who oppose the laws because they will disenfranchise poor, elderly, and minority voters who are less likely to have photo IDs.

Legislators to take up voter ID

This should not be a partisan issue. Just ask – how would officials verify the ID? How much will it cost?
Would photo ID requirements stop someone who is determined to impersonate a voter (at risk of felony conviction)?
Will the state or counties pay for this? Either cuts in services will be made to pay for this or taxes will be increased.

North Carolina General Assembly – Voter ID Requirements www.ncleg.net
Posted by Curmilus Dancy II (Butch) on March 10, 2011
Please visit the link. Ask lawmakers 1. How much will this cost and 2. How will you verify that the ID is legitimate. **They wont know the answer to either one. Answer sheet: 1. $millions and 2. There is no way to validate the ID. PHOTO ID is all smoke and mirrors.
