Voter ID opponents insult citizenry
To the Editor:
Opponents of the Voter ID amendment use the reason that requiring a photo ID will suppress the votes of seniors, minorities, students and rural residents. People in those groups ought to be highly insulted that Democrats and the left, who are the opposition to the amendment, seem to think these groups of people are stupid … unable to figure out how to acquire a photo ID.
Forget the fact that most of the people in those groups have ID’s since they shop, bank, travel, drive or receive government services. In other words they are regular Americans who participate in everyday life. How offensive that the Voter ID opponents insinuate that these groups of people do not live normal lives like everyone else.
If you are in favor of Voter ID, yor probably have figured out that your legal vote can be negated by the vote of someone who is not a citizen or not a legal voter. Requiring a photo ID for voting protects each of our votes and our legal voting citizens are perfectly capable of obtaining an ID if they do not have one now.
