Voters Like Voter ID Laws

One of the insanities of our electoral system is that in most places you don't have to show any ID whatsoever to cast a ballot. I could walk into my local polling place and claim to be any of my neighbors and cast a vote in their name and nobody would stop me (unless they had already voted). Dem activists don't want voter ID laws because the would cut out a lot of the fraud that they count on to win elections. A strong majority of the voters have no problem with ID laws at all:
A majority of whites, blacks and other ethnic and racial minorities support laws that require photographic identification before voting.

A new survey indicates 67 percent approval overall for voter ID laws. Sixty-nine percent of whites support them — along with 58-percent of blacks — and 66-percent of other ethnic and racial minorities. Seventy-six percent of Republicans are in favor — and 63-percent of Democrats and Independents.

The Supreme Court is considering a challenge to Indiana's voter ID law — and that ruling will likely influence the laws on the books or being considered in other states.
As long as we have a Dem majority (many of whom are Latino) in California, we'll never have voter ID. The Dems need those illegal alien voters.
