   There is only one reason for resistance to requiring a voter to present   
   ID to prove they have the right to vote in elections; votes.   
      
   Does anyone think illegal aliens don't vote in our elections?   
      
   Does anyone think that those who have lost their right to vote don't   
   vote in our elections?   
      
   When a whole box full of votes are `suddenly discovered' in a back room,   
   or a closet, or in somebody's trunk...do you `really' think nothing is   
   wrong?    
      
   There's been the `graveyard' vote since I can remember! People who've been   
   dead for several years cast the `deciding votes' in a local or state   
   election.   
      
   A voter ID should be tied to a person's birth certificate or citizenship   
   papers. No valid ID...you don't get to vote!   
      
   There is no honest reason for the continued resistance to voter ID.
