And you, Red Herring Boy, haven't attempted...

..to address the original assertion; namely, that a voter ID card is sufficient identification to be allowed to vote.

You wanna make it hard to get a voter ID card? Fine. We can go round and round about that in another thread. But if I show up at a polling place whose precinct number matches the one on my card, and my name on the card in on the roles, I get a ballot. Plan, simple, and non-exclusionary.

That fishy smell would be you

this thread started with an article that railed against requiring ID to get that registration card.

Your argument is one step further into the process...at the point where ID has supposedly been verified. If you want to check the definitions...I'd say that makes the herring yours.
