Responding to Bill Moyers

This law is intended to keep the dead from continuing to vote. In a time when corruption is at its highest, it is a great idea to make potential voters prove who they are.

Why is it not the state or counties responsibility to ensure the register is correct as it is in true democracies?

It is one's own responsibility to ensure that the information the register has them is correct; and then to have the register correct it if not. However, the ID law isn't about correcting the register. This is about making sure, with photo ID from either the state or the military, that you are who you say you are. And if you don't have a driver's license, you can get state ID from the same place. It isn't very hard to do. Besides, you have to have an ID to write a check, get an account, or do mostly anything else anymore. There isn't any undo hardship on anyone in this day and age.

Thousands of poor and elderly people have no drivers license, no photo ID, and precious little way to get someplace and get one. Further, the states enacting these laws have no record of voter ID abuse - none!
Why, then, have Republicans push a law that benefits them and has no known incidents creating a need for it?
