Why We Need Voter ID in the U.S.

This is apparently a hot topic of debate right now. President Trump has signed an Executive Order requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote. This is excellent, going forward, but how about now?

It seems the democrats are fighting tooth and nail against requiring voter ID. They are claiming that requiring ID to vote is voter suppression. Think I'm kidding? Watch this short video on X.

Hakeem Jeffries just called the SAVE Act “A voter suppression bill.” 

How did we even get here? If only U.S. citizens are allowed to vote, who is going to be suppressed by asking for identification at the polls? Every citizen who is eligible to vote should have a valid ID, passport or proof of naturalized citizenship.

I would think that all U.S. citizens would be happy to show ID if it helps in preventing voter fraud. I know I am. Currently, the requirements vary from state to state. If it were up to me, every state would require the appropriate ID and proof of citizenship if deemed necessary in order to cast a ballot. There would also be nearly no mail-in ballots with only a few exceptions and those carefully scrutinized. Elections must be fair and honest.
*Who cannot vote?
  • Non-citizens, including permanent legal residents, cannot vote in federal, state, and most local elections.
  • Some people cannot vote after being convicted of a felony or if they are currently serving time for other types of crimes. Rules are different in each state. Check this guide from vote.gov to understand the laws in your state.
That brings us to the question of why the liberals are so all-fired set on stopping the ID requirement. Hazarding a guess, I would say that they want to continue to (illegally) increase their voter base with those who could be persuaded to support them and their anti-American agendas. They will do anything to remain in power, and their rating among their own has dropped, at this writing, to about 21%.

One has to wonder how people can hate their own country and countrymen so much. Money and power, I guess.

Until next time, stay safe and stay sane.
