The Other Shoe has Dropped

[Devils Horse]

The march explains some things.

I was in Prattville/Wetumpka last week working at one of our plants. I asked the clerk at the desk why the hotel was so crowded, and she said there was "some kind of march" going on. My status was definitely minority there, 90% of the other hotel guests were black and hispanic, of which about 70% were women.

I believe that photo ID should be required to vote, but I'd take it a step or 2 further. There should be a basic test. If you fail to name the branches of the federal government, the 2 arms of congress, and the governor of your state, all in English, you are not qualified to vote.

First off I never said you shouldnt have to produce an ID, thats something tim t made up. I simply said that I have never been asked to show mine and after I asked the people I work with they are not asked either so I find it hard to believe we are the only ones not asked. Also it has never been an issue for the republicans in the past because they relied on the latino vote. Reagen, bush and bush would have never stood for this and I will assume you guys loved them. So why should Obama?

I think your poll is flawed. I don't know a single person who doesn't have to show proof of who they are before they are allowed to vote. Every single person on this board admits to having to show who they are to vote, so I find it strange that 18 people you work with do not have to.

I didn't have to say that you didn't think you should have to show your ID to vote. Your post said it for you!
