I certainly hope that you are not implying that I, in my position as an Election Specialist, would be lacking in honesty and integrity. You aren’t saying that are you transport?

But of course not, I would imagine you practice the utmost in diligence in your job of training those officials.

FYI: In Indiana, you can get a state ID card for the sole purpose of voting......and it is free. I looked at some other states, thinking that maybe the cost was way out there for getting a state ID card. I know some seniors are on a very limited income..........in most states, it is under $20 and in some states, it is even free for the disabled and people 65 and older.

One may be asked, but you're not required to provide it, and it's not considered unlawful to refuse or to not be able to furnish ID on request. At least this was so in 2005, which was the last time I attended a training on such issues. |

NO!!! BY GOD NO!!!!! And hopefully we NEVER WILL!! The day we have to "present our papers" to the police when they "stop us on the street", WILL BE THE OFFICIAL DAY THAT THE NEO-CONS HAVE DESTROYED THIS COUNTRY! Think about what the heck your statement implies. If I'm walking down the street, and a law enforcement official "asks me to present ID", I'd better have the right to say, not only "No", but HELL NO!! What the hell kind of country are you trying to create? |

Create?? I ain't creating nothing, just asked a question and you went into your liberal apoplexy. Chill out dude, before you stroke out. With vagrancy laws and all, I know you can be detained for not providing proof of ID. I'd like to see you get on base without showing ID.

But base regulations are different, as are private institutions. And if there is some evidence that you have committed an offense, police can detain you, but there isn't a law that permits an officer from detaining someone for going on a morning jog and leaving their ID at home. |

No. However, they can take you in until your identity can be verified if there cause Forget the dog, Beware of Owner |

Funny, my Granny died in 1996 at 98; she worked, was married to a WWI vet for 62 years (Grandpa died in 1963 and she never remarried) raised her own family of 4, 25 Grandchildren, and a passel of neighbor kids, drove a car until she was 84 (she voluntarily stopped driving the few blocks to church, bank, post office and grocery store), she continued to vote every local, state and federal election because she had her voters registration card and social security card. Dang that was simple. |

Seems to me there is a ready-made Indiana solution that doesn't even require the good nuns to leave their nunnery ... and it also makes it easy for the sick and the lame ... and the rest of the elderly. Next.

That would mean "vote early and often" is the true face of liberalism? |

but they are not free and that puts a restriction on the right to vote just as assuredly as if it were a poll tax. |

Not at all ... a state voter id is issued free if one does not have a driver's license. No poll tax BS at all. |

If his is still about the nuns, didn't someone once say "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and unto God what is God's"? By the by, are there any definitive studies that prove there has never been voter fraud in Indiana? Like to see them.

Well gee, isn't having to go to a polling place a restriction just like a poll tax too? Forget the dog, Beware of Owner |

Well, in the nuns state, they can get a FREE ID just for voting purposes. AND as Jade Gate pointed out in 4 posts above yours, they can get an absentee ballot just by being over 65 and don't have to show an ID. So, they aren't being aren't being prevented from voting at all. There are ways they can vote without showing an ID or they can get one at no cost. |

Link to the States and what their fees are for Stae IDs
I have noticed there are some who issue State IDs for voting purposes. Some even do this for free. |

Naaa, generally the Dems offer free bus service from Chicago to all of the neighboring states. |
