I think honest people won't have an issue with producing an ID to be able to vote.There have been example after example of voter fraud and it's about time we at least did the minimum.
Since when is asking someone to confirm their identity before they vote an "all-out assault on voting rights"?
I believe minorities have the same access to legal IDs as everybody else, and nobody's legitimate right to vote is in danger at all.
The voter fraud over the past 2 elections has been rampant,most of it documented to be coming from the liberal camp via front groups like ACORN.
Voter ID laws are long overdue and only threaten 'dead' people.
