Crawford v. Marion County Board of Elections

Nearly 7 years after Indiana passed a law that requires people voting in person to provide a form of identification, the US is in the middle of a prolonged debate over voter ID laws.

The Democrats say making people show an ID at the polls amounts to an insurmountable poll tax that is designed not to prevent voter fraud but instead to prevent the poor minorities from voting. Lets look at this logically for a second I have to show an ID to purchase a gun, which is also a right guaranteed to me in the constitution, but that is not deemed unconstitutional. Now I know that I am going to be accused of taking the argument to extreme ends to try to make a point. I, however, believe that this is not an extreme position. The constitution does not rank our rights, no right is more or less important than another. So why can the government place restrictions on my right to own a firearm but when a state wants to ensure fair and proper elections is is called racist?

Because that is what the Democratic Party does, if your policy disagrees with one off there then you are a racist or sexist. I do not want to pay higher insurance premiums so that others can get birth control free. I have been told that this position makes me sexist and takes the woman's rights movement back 100 years. But keep in mind if a insurance company is required to provide a service to all people even though only a few will use the service we all have to pay for it. It's is basic economics, read Mancur Olson's writings on interest groups for a complete explanation.

Now back to the issue at hand. The Supreme Court has already ruled that voter ID laws do not violate the constitution. In Crawford v. Marion County Board of Elections the court ruled that the state has an inherent right to protect the sanctity of their elections and that requiring voters to show ID was not an considered to be a poll tax.

I call for every state in the union to pass similar laws to that of Indiana and to continue ton clear the voter roles of deceased persons and persons who no longer live in their states
