   We ought to be requiring the purple finger too.

   Why don’t we require the purple finger? That can’t be very hard to implement.

   Actually, it’s a pretty poor cartoon, which evades one of the main points in the voter ID debate, which everyone knows but no one will talk about. In other words, it’s another instance of “conservatism” that’s actually a bow to political correctness.

   It’s simply a fact that the vast majority of groups raising objections to voter ID laws are racial groups such as La Raza, LULAC, NAACP, the Urban League, etc. So who does the cowardly cartoonist show being outraged at having to show ID to vote? A white man.

   Voter id seems like a no-brainer to me. When I go to my polling place, they ask me for my name, I tell them, they check it off a list, and I vote. What’s to keep anyone from walking in, saying they are me, and stealing my vote? And remember, your polling place is by neighborhood, so anyone who lives near you and knows your name could do this. I think an identification system would be appropriate.

   That purple ink is really hard to get off.

   Showing identification is a no brainer to me as well. I have to show the bank a picture id so that they will give me $20. My vote is worth more than the incovenience of reaching in to my back pocket to pull out my drivers license.

   Oh, and Nighttrain, the people in the background of the last frame are “people of color”.

   Actually, Night Train, the ones I hear voicing opinion against voter ID are white Liberals in the Senate, like Ted Kennedy. They seem to be the ones who are not allowing it to happen.

   Mommy - Nothign stops anyone from impersonating another at the polling place. That is one of the ways the “dead” or “departed” continued to vote in Chicago all those years.
