Voters Guide

There was an article as well but it looks like I forgot to link to it.

NorthWest Florida Republican

You will be asked for photo and signature ID (which may be on one ID)
by the election official.
Approved forms of ID include:
• Florida Driver’s License
• Military ID
• Current US Passport
• Debit or Credit Card
• Student ID
If you do not bring any ID, you will be allowed to vote; however, you will be asked
to vote a provisional ballot.

If you end up with a Provisional Ballot, your vote will only count after your credentials are verified. So the short answer is to bring a valid ID.

Update: Juan Paxety points out a fundamental misread on my part. The ID requirement comes at registration, not at the voting booth. Floridians already have to show ID when voting; this requires them to show ID in order to validate their residence in Florida. Juan believes this to be a safeguard against voters who try to register in two states.

Fine, but what’s the i.d. required? Will it still be possible for a New York resident with a second home in Florida to obtain and show Florida i.d. and register to vote there?

And let’s not forget WA state.

You should see Texas.

I can only imagine. I thought there were a lot up here in New England. Not even close to down south, and especially on the border.

Seriously. How is this even an issue? Seems like common sense to me.

When it comes to some of the states in this land, my friend, you can throw common sense out the window.

The Indiana voter ID law was upheld and in use. Only the Democrats seem to hate it (scratches head).

So you think that non citizens should be allowed to vote?

Every time I vote, I purposely ask, “Don’t you want to see my ID?” They just say no thanks.

Well, this year I’ll be asking that question again. Then, I’m going to ask them how they know that I’m who I’m signing against. I’m going to grill them out loud so that everyone hears me.

I’m sick to death of this, and I know that fraud is happening. We are basically a sanctuary state for illegals.

I was in Florida a couple of weeks ago working for a week and I was amazed at how many Illegals there were, they were everywhere. I stopped at a store I was working in and thought there was a bike shop nearby because literally, any kind of pole sticking out of

the ground had a bike chained to it, trees, telephone poles, even a fire hydrant. I didn’t know what to think, until I saw about 30 Mexicans standing in front of a store waiting for work. Unbelievable.

But a question (hopefully not tooo OT): In th elast few months, I’ve notice alot of Obama/ACORN people on the streets trolling ostensibly to “register” voters.

Were they to be so decrepit (I use the linguistic “conditional” to be generous…),
1) could they misuse such “registrations” to vote-by-mail for these signators and
2) could one trace such abuse realtively easily to prove voter fraud?

Speaking of that….why is that guy still in office? Doesn’t anyone see that as a scam he’s running? Are they that stupid?

Palm Beach County is mostly made up of rich white liberals from the north. Yes Doc…they’re that stupid.

I guess they won’t be needing all of those chartered buses afterall.

Voting is a right of citizens to determine the composition of our representative governments.

Sorry Ed, but where in the Constitution is it a right?

Hint: It isn’t.

Though vigorously denied, it is (and has been) clear to many Californians that the illegal-alien vote has put several people in office….

In other words, the question isn’t wether or not they ask for ID, the question is what happens if you don’t have ID? Is your vote counted anyway? Is it considered a provisional vote? Are you prevented from casting a vote at all?

Here in AZ, if you don’t have ID you’re given a provisional ballot and allowed to vote, but before your vote is counted you have to show up (within a certain number of days) with an ID. But the law here has a pretty expansive definition of ID. If you claim that you don’t have a gov’t-issued ID, you are allowed to submit things like utility bills as ID. As we all know, anybody with a computer and scanner can produce very realistic-looking utility bills, etc., with any name and address on them that they want. We know that organized fraudsters like ACORN have plenty of money (courtesy of us taxpayers), so they can be cranking out as many forms of these fake “IDs” for non-eligible voters as they please.

That’s just the way it is.

Seriously. How is this even an issue? Seems like common sense to me.

…the next sound you hear will be the society evolving just the least little bit as common sense triumphs over the politics of emotion.

*WHUMP*

Thank you.
