As reported here, DNC Chairman Howard Dean is joining with the Indiana Democratic Party in a fight against Indiana's law requiring people have a photo ID before they can vote, saying that the law will prevent some people from voting, while "Indiana Democratic Party executive director Mike Edmonson says it's important to appeal the ruling to make sure every voter gets a chance to cast a ballot."
How ludicrous! What is so hard about getting a photo ID? If someone wants to vote badly enough, if they care about the political process enough, they will find a way to obtain valid photo ID. It's just that simple. But the Dems don't want people to be made to prove who they really are, as they know that the vast majority of those who want to commit voter fraud, vote for them, and they know they need all the votes they can get, whether those votes are legitimate or not.
I don't know how they do things in Indiana, but in Washington State, you can obtain valid state photo ID in two ways. Either you can apply, and pass the tests, for a drivers license, or, you can pay a nominal fee to have a state photo ID card (after providing proof of who you are). It isn't hard to get either of those two forms of valid, state recognized, photo IDs here, and unless the state of Indiana has enormously difficult laws in place preventing some people from obtaining valid, state recognized, photo Ids, I simply don't understand what the problem with this law is.
As "supporters of the new law, including Indiana Republican Party Chairman Murray Clark, say the state's voter identification law will help secure elections in Indiana." What's wrong with that?
Oh, wait. Silly me. What was I thinking? A clean election does not favor the Dems.
