    Yes it is technically illegal.

    The intent of the statute is to prevent fraudulent votes from being cast in an election.

    No fraudulent votes were cast or attempted to be cast.

    The whole point was to prove how easy it was to cast an illegal vote in the current system.

    I could show up at your polling place and say I'm chumpdumper and cast a vote for my choice under the current law because I don't have to show an ID.
    I am recently deceased?

    Oh, my.

    administrative law does not codify crimes, nor are violators punished as criminals.

    Who? My position has been stated over and over again. I have no problem with prosecuting illegal aliens. I have taken flak from those left of me (as well as other moderates) for this position. I also think that this position is highly inefficient so I think we should be implementing astronomical fines for companies that hire illegals instead. I think that this would be a much more efficient use of limited resources than trying to track and find individual people.
    Sorry for lumping you with them.

    Administrative violation...

    administrative law<> criminal law
    While this sounds like WC's subsidy/tax break distinction. I don't feel like arguing it in this thread, so you win. Can we get back to laughing at CC for not wanting to prosecute a criminal??

    Again, lets get this staight...I think that OKeefe is an over the top attention thats about a half bubble off and I have no affection for him at all...

    BUT

    He really does do a fairly effective job of poking holes in classic progressive positions...

    In this case resisting having voters show ID's to vote...

    He proved beyond a shadow of a doubt how easy it is to cast a fraudulent vote without showing an ID.

    And the more you guys talk about him and the media talks about him the more effective he is...

    I thought it was already a requirement. I have always shown my ID when voting. How else would they know who I am? (sorry I am a little behind on administrative law :LOL)

    if it wasn't, there'd be no need for any bid to make undo ented aliens subject to criminal law for immigration violations

    He actually showed it's quite difficult to commit the kind of massive vote fraud Republican scare mongers claim happen every election but never prove.

    How is that a straw man? It's the bogeyman O'Keefe claims he is fighting here.

    In many cases, it becomes a poll tax. And yes, there are many people who don't have an ID. Given the paucity of actual vote fraud cases and convictions in this country, it's a solution looking for a problem.

    "their ID to vote?"

    a lot of poor and young people (Dem voters) don't have IDs, would be disenfranchised, which is exactly what the Repugs want with their fraudulent rampant-voter-fraud strategy.

    So it's only tens of thousands or maybe a couple hundred thousand but not MASSIVE VOTE FRAUD so it's OK.

    Got it. But lets throw the book at the guy that showed how easy it was and DIDN'T vote.

    How does getting an ID become a poll tax? ...you can't get a legal job or pay income tax without an ID, much less drive or cash a check. What is the fear here?

    As far as I'm concerned if someone is living off the grid and not paying taxes (breaking the law by not reporting income) then they don't deserve to vote.

    What is your proof it's tens of thousands?

    Link please.

    I expect you to play dumb at this point.

    And you continue to duck and dodge. nip, nip, nip, little ankle biter but never a real position or actual counter. Whats your proof it's not tens of thousands? What number would you rather use?
