i'm not sure what answer you know so i'll just tell you what i think. the name of the game is reducing the number of potential voters who won't vote for you party (or candidate etc.). if you can find a group of such potential voters and an innocent looking way to reduce their numbers (ie. picture id which will make poor/old people less likely to vote and say they overwhelmingly vote x) then if you're not x it's to your benefit to do everything you can to make them not vote. That's just silly. The ID doesn't stop them from buying wine and beer. Nor applying for food stamps, nor library cards, nor driver's licence. So why should it stop them from voting. The only reason some Democrats don't want voter's ID is because these people are aware that voter fraud is in the favor of Democrats.

And I don't like that. Even for the Dems. I don't like the talk of keeping the evangelicals at home. I want a system that encourages nearly 100% of the voting-age population to vote, like in Australia. -Z
