What's Your Name Again?

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0508/10057.html

The Supreme Court ruled that is is constitutional to require a valid form of identification to vote in an election. Liberals and Democrats are crying foul, as they feel it will restrict lower income voters from voting because of the cost of attaining a valid ID. I applaud this Supreme Court decision. Heaven forbid we are able to tell if people are who they say we are. It's terrible, I know, to have verification that a person is actually a citizen of the United States and is even eligible to vote. It's heartless of me to want to have honest elections, free of voter fraud that is widespread in places where identification is not required. An identification card is like 10 dollars...I think that's a small price to pay in order to make sure people are who they say they are and eliminate voter fraud and make sure that the "one person, one vote" philosophy stays true. The reason Democrats oppose ID requirements is simple: they feel they can get a lot of the illegal immigrant vote. Without ID requirements, they could all vote and help Democrats win elections. Voter fraud is also easier to pull off. I think requiring ID will bring honesty back to the voting process and the person who gets the most votes wins...without any doubt.
