Voter ID needed more than ever

A recent writer to the Fencepost, Mr. James Prescott, joined with a few other misguided people in claiming that voter identification is an effort to discourage minorities from voting. He also indicted that he doesn’t think vote fraud is a problem. As a judge of election in Chicago for 25 years, I can assure Mr. Prescott that vote fraud is a problem and in the coming election I believe it may be the deciding factor. That’s why we must not let it happen.

After the 2008, election it was confirmed that many illegal immigrants voted in California. There was vote buying and illegal votes in Milwaukee. The Black Panthers drove white voters from the polls in Philadelphia keeping them from voting. With countless witnesses and pictures, President Obama’s attorney general, Eric Holder, refuses to prosecute. There is no official effort nor intent to keep any eligible voter from casting a ballot; however, vote fraud in large cities is a fact and we must take every measure necessary to prevent it this time.

I believe every state should require picture identification, and I think we need to take a very close look at the above company. Obama is beginning to rule above the law, without respect for the Constitution, the Supreme Court or Congress. Is this company his way of stealing the election?
