Voter I.D. Bill
This is good news.
The House yesterday passed legislation that would require voters to show a valid photo identification in federal elections over the overwhelming objections of Democrats who compared the bill to segregation-era measures aimed at disenfranchising Southern blacks.
The Federal Election Integrity Act was approved on a nearly party-line 228-196 vote. Republicans backed the bill 224-3, with three nonvoters; Democrats opposed it 192-4, with five nonvoters. They were joined in opposition by the House's one independent member.
Isn't it funny that the ones howling about election reform are the ones standing in the way? Their reason this time?
But Democrats, siding with groups that work on behalf of minorities and illegal aliens, called the bill a "modern-day poll tax" and said it would place an insurmountable burden on voters and infringe upon their voting rights.
How exactly does having to prove one's identity and citizenship amount to infringing upon voter's rights? The bottom line is that this bill will make it harder for the Democrats to cheat, that's why they voted against it. Why are they so anxious for illegal aliens to be able to vote? Rhetorical question, of course.
