Could someone please explain to me why people are against showing an ID to vote? Why is that such a bad thing?
You show it to banks, you show it to cash a check in stores, you show it buy cars, you show it to enter federal buildings, you show it at schools to prove who you are so you can pick up your kids, you show it to rent a car, you show it at your doctor’s office and hospitals, you give the information to anyone you need to buy things from online, for credit cards, to purchase an iPhone.
We use our IDs every day in a hundred other ways. So why, then, when we want an ID to prove you are eligible to vote in this country, is it such a bad thing? And don’t even tell me it is because there are people that don’t have one, because I think that is a blatant lie.
In my opinion, the only reason to fight against showing an ID when you vote is to allow non-Americans to cheat; there is no other reason. If you are not here legally, then you have no right to vote. Do you think we could go to any other country and vote in their elections? Of course not. That would be ridiculous, but yet Democrats and some Republicans are fighting the one way we can prove voter eligibility.
Can anyone explain to me why showing a ID to vote is such a bad thing?
