Showing ID to Vote

[kentington]

Of course there is. Voting is a right. If you have to purchase an ID in order to vote, you're having to purchase your right to vote from the state. Essentially a poll tax.

Owning a gun is a right. In order to own a gun, you have to pay for both licensing yourself as well as registering each gun you own, therefore you're having to purchase your right to own a gun from the state. PLUS, you have to show a photo ID to do those things.

Eh...if you wrongly translate the constitution perhaps.

In which way are you suggesting his interpretation is wrong?

Also, ID's should be free.

If you aren't willing to give an answer why make the claim?

has nothing to do with being willing. And if supporting claims with evidence was a requirement in this forum, especially from that poster...

Tell you what. Ill explain it to my wall. I know it has at least a chance of understanding and listening.

So, you don't have any other correct interpretation.

Not from that poster. From me. I am curious in which ways he is interpreting it wrongly.

You interpreted that incorrectly too.

I apologize for piquing your curiosity then.

I don't think it is necessary for a special voter id card. I do believe you should be required to show an id card to vote.
1)To prove you are a citizen
2)To prove you are alive
3)To prove you exist

If above three are proven then vote.

1) This I can agree on
2) If I show up at the polling booth, I am alive, so showing ID does not prove that I am alive. For all they know I could be a zombie.
3) See point 2.

If your argument is that you don't need ID because voting is a right, then the same goes for guns.....right?

Not really, owning a gun as a right is a peculiarity of the US. I don't consider it a right. A right to own something ain't the same as a right to vote, in any case.

You shouldn't have to purchase your vote.

Ok this has become very weird. Troll zone? How about contributing to the topic rather than popping in to just punch it to someone, Symmetry is able to do both sometimes.

Symmetry, it is a peculiarity to the US. But it is in the US constitution, maybe you believe it should be amended but it hasn't been yet. I am waiting to see what Fitz says. If he doesn't I will bring one of my thoughts up.

you don't. We are giving ID's away for free, so please stop with the lies.
