A Virginia state House panel has approved a Republican-sponsored voter bill that would require people unable to produce identification to cast provisional ballots, according to a report by the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
The vote last week by the state House Committee on Privileges and Election caused an uproar among Democrats opposed to altering existing law, which the Times-Dispatch said allows anyone who claims to be a registered voter to a cast a regular ballot that gets counted immediately — regardless of whether they produce proper identification or not.
The Democrats argued that the measure would suppress the vote of the elderly, poor and young voters, as well as minorities.

The poor have id cards so they can get their government assistance.The elderly have been around long enough to have an id card.The young have received id cards or drivers licenses and if they don't know how to secure them they are too stupid to vote.The only ones that don't have cards are the dead,and the whole idea here is to keep them from voting.Pass the law.
