[QUOTE="steeltoe, post: 960466, member: 9491"] My local preaches about the unfairness of the current voter I.D. laws in many states, including mine. How it is some sort of travisty to have to prove who you are before casting a vote in a federal or state election. It is unfair to the elderly, the poor, etc. Let me see it done this way in our local union elections, and charges will be filed left and right. Heck, I was asked to be an observer during our last local union election. The first thing out of many mouths was how the current President hand picked the lead election official. I heard it day after day, so, and so is cheating. Dude, I was there, and I was observing for one of the slates running against the current President. Everyone was on the UP and UP. The election committe, which was hand picked by the current President, whom I did not favor, was one of the most honest people I have ever met, and did the job above and beyond. Back to my previous thought. Why would my local be against the voter I.D. law, when in turn, they want a DNA sample for the local elections. You all know the answer. It is not about being honest and fair. It is about getting the people out to vote, even if they do not have to prove who they are. [/QUOTE]
