Voter ID

As reading the blog of my colleague Emily Velazquez, I agreed with  her that having ID that make you eligible to vote are unnecessary. As we know that Texas is ranking near the bottom of the vote turnout because of the “Real number” that required by States government. Showing ID is part of everyday life but generally, showing ID is a trivial matter for people of all ages, races, genders and incomes, but some small number of people lack current photo ID. I think that by making everyone giving an ID document is to frighten voter in thinking that there's a fraud problem ( voter fraud has always been a concern in American politics) so that they keep people who are more likely to vote Democratic (students, seniors, lower-income folks, minorities) from being able to vote. As well as there are people who used “Dead people” photos as an ID to vote. By checking or showing ID is only to protect eligible voter. Like Emily said that about 21 million people not being able to vote affect a lot of the number of votes that being counted. We had reason why there are some votes don’t want to vote is basically because it is a waste of time and they don’t care about the Government and politics. However, there are some that truly care and wanted to vote but were prevented from not having ID. We are afraid to let those who did not have ID to vote to prevent fraud but at the end we still have many convictions. Then I ask myself will this prevent felons from voting as well? I think the answer is NO.http://velazquez23.blogspot.com/2012/11/are-you-who-you-say-you-are-as-tomorrow.html?showComment=1353475582328#c6327394988359129956
