Fraud exists where voter ID doesn’t

Writer James Prescott (Fence Post, April 6) uses no logical argument to support the premise that voter ID would suppress the minority vote. He further states that “fraud cannot be demonstrated to any significant degree,” and yet fraud was found in Wisconsin during the 2004 and 2008 elections, as well as the well-documented fraud found in Texas where the now defunct and discredited ACORN was found to use names such as Mickey Mouse and the Dallas Cowboys on their voter rolls.

I guess that isn’t “significant” enough for Mr. Prescott. The real reason people like Mr. Prescott don’t want voter ID is simple: as he states himself, most “voters” who do not produce an inexpensive ID card are going to vote Democrat.

If we must produce ID to board a plane, even to handle a gun at a gun store, what, I ask, are you afraid of?
