The Supreme Court has ruled that states can require voters to produce photo identification without violating their constitutional rights. The decision validates Republican-inspired voter ID laws.

hMM, liberals say that poor people cannot afford a picture ID. Well, if they are poor, then they probally qualify for Medicad - and they provide you with a FREE :tonofbricks: picture ID!

PS I just thought of something, if they did have to pay for a non-drivers license ID, then they wouldn't be able to pay their cable bill for the month:laugh: -
Picture IDs should be provided through the use of taxpayer money, if necessary.
-
Revmitchell Well-Known MemberSite SupporterI bet some of those poor people can afford beer, cigaretts, vcr's, color tv's with remote, a pint of old english, or a joint. There is no such thing as not being able to afford a ten dollar ID.

Anyone who does not have an elitist mentality knows that such does exist. There are people in this nation that have to choose between necessities such as food and medicine every month.

Then my drivers license should be provided free of charge!!!

ps, for once Rev mitchell is actually right:laugh: -
Revmitchell Well-Known MemberSite SupporterI find it funny Democrats calling anyone else elitist.:laugh:
-
There are so many goverment and private programs out there which will help. The problem is that many do not want to help themselves.
-
I don't care if they're provided by the government "free" to everyone, as long as they're required in order to vote.

I am not a Democrat. Actually, my membership is in the Libertarian Party. :)

If you can't truly afford it, I agree. :thumbs:
-
It truly is. I receive the Libertarian Party News with my basic membership.

Revmitchell Well-Known MemberSite SupporterI receive email updates from Air America. But I am no liberal.

Now what does "If you can't truly it" mean. ?
If I cant afford $50 for a license, how can I afford to operat a vehicle? -

State ID's (not DL's ) often run about ten dolllars

Translation: Don't want to be bothered with it.

I don't. And it makes no sense that a "Card-carrying libertarian" would.
The right to vote is discussed in the Constitution...thus, an ID could be considered a part of that (at least the case could me made).
There is no "right to drive" in the US. That is a privilege. We already make too many concessions in this area. (In Alabama, the DL test is offered in twenty languages--someone can get a license even if they can't read the road signs!) If someone wants the privilege to drive, let them pay for it.
