It’s my position that the solution creates a system whereby we can be confident that the votes cast are from legitimate voters. It’s my further opinion, just reached now, that this scares the shit out of you because you know how much the Democrats value illegal aliens’ and (where not permitted) convicted felons’ votes. In short, a Voter ID system scares you because you know that losing illegal votes hurts the Democrats.
