[EL] Check out New O'Keefe video: Obama campaign staffer caught helping activist v

[Trevor Potter]

"Voter ID" is, of course, an imprecise term. Most states required some
form of "voter ID" years ago (signatures in polling books, production of
utility bills, affidavits of identity, etc)-just not a "government
issued photo ID, not to include a photo ID issued by a college or
University". So the question is what TYPE of "voter ID" is required, and
what is its effect. As Jim Thurber has written recently, even
"government issued photo ID" would not be a burden on voters  if the
government affirmatively and aggressively made it available to all
voters (as Mexico does) rather than blocking those without drivers
licenses by requiring  appearance in person at scarce and overwhelmed
motor vehicle department offices...

1.	Assume a significant portion of the public believes that our
polls are insecure and that in-person voter fraud is a problem.
2.	Assume that voter id addresses this appearance of in-person
voter fraud.

Does Voter ID, which at least addresses this appearance of in-person
voter fraud, not justify its enactment?

 

After all, the appearance of corruption is a major argument in support
of compelled campaign finance disclosure. I mean, if we say that all our
elected officials are on the take, they must be on the take.

You beat me to it, Steve. I was going to say that. Frankly, I'm
disappointed in Jim and Ben. They've obviously not been paying attention
to the List Serve. After all, if you say it enough ("There is no such
thing as voter fraud") it MUST be true.
