Vice
President Biden said new voter ID laws in North Carolina, Alabama and Texas
were evidence of “hatred” and “zealotry” during a Black History Month event at
the Naval Observatory on Tuesday.
That being
the case, what is the drive to make everyone entering a Federal Building, or
Facility, fly on an airplane, or drive an automobile have a Federally approved
ID card that can be scanned into their system each time you are required to
produce it. You cannot pick up your
prescriptions without showing an approved ID, a VA ID will not cut it.
Why is it
that the Progressives see being required to show an ID to vote as racists, but
none of the other requirements as race neutral?
They claim that the time and expense of getting an ID to show at the poll
puts an undue financial hardship on the poor.
I am sure that there are people like Thelma Mitchell of Nashville,
Tenn. When Thelma Mitchell, a retired
state employee, learned that her old employee ID (which was issued by the state
and included her photo) wouldn't meet Tennessee's new voter ID law, she went to
a motor vehicle office to obtain a valid photo ID. The agency asked her for a
birth certificate, but she didn't have one and was denied her request for a new
ID. Mitchell, 93, has never had a birth
certificate. She wasn't born in a hospital and was delivered by a midwife, in
Alabama in 1918. Birth certificates, particularly for African-Americans in the
South, weren't regularly generated at the time. As a result, Mitchell may not
be able to vote this year for the first time in decades."I got so
mad" about being turned away, Mitchell said in an interview. "I was
holding my peace to keep from telling him off. So I didn't get to vote." Why NewPhoto ID Laws Mean Some Won't Vote
Everything
comes with a price, to stop all of those who vote in the dead's place, their
old mother or dad, aunt or uncle who does not get out of the house and does not
care one way or the other, this may be the price. It will also stop people from registering
under more than one name.
State
Progress (updated 2/7/2014)
Compliant
States/Territories: DHS provided a list of 21 states currently found to have
met the standards of the REAL ID Act of 2005 for driver’s licenses and
identification cards. These states are Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut,
Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland,
Mississippi, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, West
Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Extensions:
DHS also announced that 21 states/territories—Arkansas, California, District of
Columbia, Guam, Idaho, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, Nevada, New
Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode
Island, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia and the Virgin Islands—will receive a
compliance extension based on their movement toward full compliance. Licenses
from these states will be accepted for federal purposes during the extension
period. These extensions will expire on Oct. 10, 2014 and can be renewed.
States/Territories
not in Compliance: There are 14 states/territories—Alaska, American Samoa,
Arizona, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, New
Jersey, New York[i], Northern Marianas Islands, Oklahoma and
Washington[ii]—currently in a noncompliance status. These jurisdictions can be
granted an extension in the future if they are deemed to be moving toward full
compliance
The
following enforcement measures are cumulative, with measures in each
phase remaining in effect through successive phases. Each phase will
begin with a 3-month period where agencies will provide notice to
individuals attempting use driver’s licenses or identification cards from
noncompliant states but still allow access. After this period is
over, agencies will no longer accept such identification for entry to
Federal facilities, and individuals will need to follow the agency’s
alternate procedures (to be made available by the agency).
