Voting is an important aspect of our society and we have to
make sure that the people voting are legal citizens that have an idea who and
what they are voting for. I completely agree with you and I feel as though
requiring an ID in order to vote should not be that be that big of a deal. Yes
some may say it is a it is not fair to those who live far away but shouldn’t
every voting eligible adult at least have some kind of state provided form of
identification? To me that is just a lame excuse. Also saying that it is the
Republicans way of hurting Democrats is kind of an extreme stretch to the
situation because if Democrats in society really want to go out and be involved
with their Government they could at least take that step to getting a voter ID
and so could Republicans or any other party for that matter.
Voting is vital and the decisions made affect each and every
individual and society as a whole so it is important that the people voting
have an idea as to whom and what they are rendering power to. Though some voters
do not really care about the politicians they vote for, maybe because they are
forced or pressured into doing so, but for most people that will actually leave
their houses and drive all the way to a voting center to cast a ballot means
they know what they want for society and who would do their job for them and
they are passionate about it thus I do not think these people would mind
getting a voter ID for this reason.
Also like you said this ID costs about the same as a Driver’s
License which is 20 bucks, I think that is pretty affordable. And also having
this ID helps lower voter fraud throughout the nation. People should just suck
it up, get the ID and go vote.
