Title: I have a simple question..... Post by Jonny on Oct 12th, 2006, 9:32pm This is mainly an American question, but I would love to hear from folks in other countries on this.....and maybe even how this works there. Its a simple yes or no question, there should be NO room for discusion! Here it is: If you vote in an election should you have to show a photo ID to prove you are a citizen? Thats it....simple! This should be interesting....what say you? |

Although I could answer in 1 word, I choose to be a thorn in Jonny's paw and take up a whole paragrtaph going into the question. Is there really any doubt the answer is yes. Any citizen can get a state issued photo ID and you SHOULD need to have it to vote. |

Title: Re: I have a simple question..... Post by Grandma_Sweet_Boy on Oct 12th, 2006, 10:53pm I know this is an American question but what the heck - one year for some reason, I got left off our voting list. When I went to vote, I had to fill out a bloody ream of paper work and show two pieces of ID - one of which had to be photo. I believe no matter where you live, you must be a citizen of that country to vote and should have to show some proof. Sorry Jonny for the length of the response - short answer YES! |

Title: Re: I have a simple question..... Post by Charlie on Oct 13th, 2006, 1:57am It's been so long since I registered that it's an automatic here in New York State. No doubt you can't initially register without a photo ID and some proof of residence...at least I hope that's true. They send new voter registration cards regularly when they tell me which polling station I am to use. Of course they know me there..... A photo ID is fine today but if they ask for ID it must not have had a price tag or it is in effect, a poll tax. Mine is from a Non-Drivers drivers license which is a freebee here. My guess is that the Massachusetts Governor candidate is talking about the same thing. Forms of drivers licenses are among the best forms of ID. Tons of information there and everyone seems to like it. Charlie |

Title: Re: I have a simple question..... Post by Kevin_M on Oct 13th, 2006, 8:23am http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,214757,00.html WASHINGTON -- The House voted Wednesday to require Americans to show proof of citizenship in order to vote, and the Senate moved to build a 700-mile fence along the Mexican border as Republicans sharpened attacks on illegal immigration before the midterm elections. The 228-196 House vote... The bill would require everyone to present a photo ID before voting in federal elections by 2008. By 2010 voters would have to have photo IDs that certified they were citizens. Also on Wednesday, a bipartisan task force recommended that Congress provide a path to legal status for immigrants who can demonstrate steady employment, knowledge of English and payment of taxes and who pass a background security check. --------- Here (http://www.naco.org/CountyNewsTemplate.cfm?template=/ContentManagement/ContentDisplay.cfm&ContentID=21470) is an article in opposition to it on these grounds: While the bill does allow states or counties to charge a fee for issuing the new ID card, any such fee is capped at the "reasonable cost." Recent court decisions suggest that even such fees might be overruled as a poll tax in violation of the 24th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. States are required to issue the cards, free of charge, to anyone who signs an affidavit stating that they cannot afford it. The federal government will not pay for the cost of issuing cards to all voters, but may reimburse states for this cost. There is no guarantee of funding, which would be subject to annual appropriations by Congress. The letter pointed out that the Congressional Budget Office has determined that the bill creates an intergovernmental mandate with costs that far exceed the threshold in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. According to CBO's figures, states or counties would incur approximately $570 million in costs to issue new photo identification cards to all voters without a current U.S. Passport by 2010, of which a maximum of $70 million would be reimbursable by the federal government. --------------------------- Huge costs, maybe a designation by the IRS from tax returns could verify whether it is issued free to you or not, I don't know, an affidavit seems less accountable and many would attempt not paying, perhaps. Anyway, the more of us that get passports, the less it would cost the states, it seems. I vote Yes. |

Title: Re: I have a simple question..... Post by catlind on Oct 13th, 2006, 9:14am I beg to differ with you Jonny. Yes I believe you should have to show photo ID to prove you are you, but photo ID doesn't guarantee citizenship. If you are a registered voter then the INS should have your SSN and as long as your photo ID matches to you, that's about as far as I think you can take it without civil rights ramifications. I'm all for photo IDs, but it would be too difficult to get voters to the booths if they had to provide proof of citizenship on top of photo ID. Edited to add: Of course if you live near the Canadian/US border, you will be required to have a passport to enter either country, so that would take care of some of the people who only have birth certificates as citizenship. I don't know how much passports are here, but I know the last one I had done for the kids and I cost $255 (Canadian). Alex's green card had to be redone when he turned 14 so they could do 'biometrics' - fancy fingerprints, and that is at a cost of $185 + $70 biometric fee. For us to apply for naturalization will cost $960 for the 3 of us. That would be on top of the nearly $4000 we've already spent (without lawyers) to become permanent residents. My point is that enforcing proof of citizenship at the polls would require a passport or a 'National ID Card' and of course those come with the expense of filing them, which would undoubtedly be as much as, or nearly as much as the INS fees and would result in lower voter turnouts. I personally believe the system should be set up so that when you register to vote, you prove citizenship at that time with birth certificate and photo IDs, and at the polls showing photo ID. Cat |

Certainly Cat, a driver's lisence is not proof of citizenship, I saw Barb address that and a good reason for the photo ID cards being mandated for the future. However, the administrative overload will probably extend the deadline, as it was for a year with passports. For now, I agree, it would be difficult before that happens, and in the meantime, a picture would be a help but not a solution. |

I've been across the US/Canadian border a number of times. No passport required. Were you just writing in the hypothetical? Jonny - A definitive "yes." In Wisconsin we are not required to show any form of ID at the polls. We're hoping for a law requiring photo ID at the polls, but the ones who benefit from voter fraud have so far been successful in keeping it off the books. When I enter the polling place I always provide my driver's license. Most of the nice, old folks there tell me I don't need it. I tell them, "I'm just practicing for when I will." |

Title: Re: I have a simple question..... Post by Charlie on Oct 13th, 2006, 5:00pm This thread reminded me that our stunningly incompetent Homeland Security Department wants to make it so that it will require hundreds of dollars worth of passports for every family member (they're around $100 each the last time I looked) so as to kill as much tourism and cross-border business as possible.....not to mention that if you want to take your four children over to the Canadian Falls...which is where everybody wants to go. (You never see pictures of the American Falls in travelogues ) It will likely be cost-prohibitive. We in this area had our hopes up for a few weeks as they were working on some kind of cheaper system. That made too much sense and they try to recoup tax cuts with exhorbitant passport and other document fees. They have skyrocketed. I'd hate to try to win an election in "Talkin'g Proud" Buffalo and adjacent Niagara Falls by voting for this thing. It will keep out only tourists and shoppers.

I have no problem with that because I was raised going to church every Sunday and bible school, church choirs - the whole nine yards. But, what if I had been of another religion that didn't believe in the Bible? Budhist, Hindu, or even not believing in religion at all?

Wow...that would work better to get improved voter turn-out in the US, but I'm sure too many would be upset about government involvement and fines for not voting or not registering to vote. But I believe that if you live in this country, are a citizen of this country, then it is your civic duty to vote! I just got my passport in August, and I'd never had one before. For those speculating about cost, here's the link to the fees for US passports: http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/fees/fees_837.html And this is part of what that says for those who don't want to click on the link: Quote:
So it was $97 for me to get my passport...and I could have paid more if I wanted it expedited, but they said I would get it in time, so I didn't do that. I noticed in England that pretty much every person had a passport. At least, this was just from discussion I heard. Helen or other Brits may be able to correct me on this. I know it came up when I went to exchange currency. I had to have my passport to exchange US dollars into GBP. By the time Matt and crew came over, they didn't originally bring their passports the first time we left for London (I say the first time because we went back to get them and my camera card), and I said well why can't we just use our US Driver's license because that's as official as it gets. And it's not like we were trying to go anywhere - just exchange our own money. Helen said because over there, they don't recognize all the various State ID cards we have - no matter how official, they wouldn't be able to distinguish real from fake. Good point... If they go so far as to mandate passports, which would prove citizenship, then they'd have to reduce the fee or provide them for no cost - not just for some, but for all. I do'nt think it's fair to just say that some people don't have to pay. It was expensive for me to get mine, but I probably wouldn't qualify for any kind of government assistance when buying it! When I went to vote in Chester County, they had a list with all registered voters and their addresses. Honestly, I can't recall if I had to show an ID the last time I went. However, I should think this list should have to be gone through to make sure that all registered voters are US citizens. This wouldn't help for those who impersonate someone else, but it would at least make sure that all registered are citizens. Cat makes a good point in that making proof of citizenship a requirement on top of everything else may make voter turnout even lower, and it's already pretty poor... |

Title: Re: I have a simple question..... Post by Mosaicwench on Oct 17th, 2006, 7:29pm Yes, yes, and again, yes. In Wisconsin you need more paperwork to sign up your kids for Little League than you have to provide to vote. Unbelievable. |

Title: Re: I have a simple question..... Post by floridian on Oct 18th, 2006, 12:42pm No. Photo-IDs are so 1980ish. I think we should all carry national IDs with us at all times - as embedded microchips. Not only would the paramedics immediately know who the bloody, incoherent person at an accident scene is, they would know that persons blood type and medical history. Employers could immediately verify eligibility of people applying for jobs. We wouldn't have to carry our season pass to Disney - the scanner would know who we are and let us in with a personalized greeting. |
