Absolutely! I am asked for my ID at the library, bank, store, recent trip to ER room...many places. Even if that were not the case, an ID card to prove your identity as a registered voter before you vote is a good idea.
This should have been the case from the beginning and I don't care what your party affiliation or independent status is.

My daughter does not drive but she still has a photo ID from Penndot.

This Voter ID requirement law is just one more step in taking away American freedoms. Period.

SWT Resident, the Voter ID law is on step in SECURING American freedom.

Mr. Miller. I would agree with you IF we weren't discussing a goverment that is corrupt from the ground up, only has ITS best interest in mind, and is only concerned with maintaining and fortifying their current positions. You can 'spin' this law any way you like it but you KNOW what is next: legal gun ownership. The bleeding hearts within the government...and on the outside pressuring the government...have been working nonstop to find a way to chisle guns out of the hands of their legal and rightful owners. When that does happen will you reiterate the same comment: that law "is on step in SECURING American freedom"? Mr. Miler...now is not the time to be sticking your head in the sand OR conceed and swallow the Kool Aid this government is spoon feeding you. Once they have the cuffs on you...its too late to say: wait a minute! You are loosing your American freedoms, beinding over for a government and saying: yes...give it to me. Sir...you do so on your own.

SWT Resident, I think you misunderstand my opinion of this law. I am Conservative and will always be until they party changes its course or something better comes along. I believe the law is a good thing because the government seems to be either unable or unwilling to stop the endless flow of illegal immigration and rampant voter fraud. It's that voter fraud that ensures the election of people like the current President, who has taken our country down a very dangerous path both domestically and abroad. It is a matter of when, not if we go to war again in the Middle East.

Our warships are already over there, loaded down with planes and ordinance, missiles and troops. The battleground will be Syria, Iran and likely, back in Iraq. Once Korea and Russia join the fight. Russia has already stated they oppose our defense of Israel and our desire to help overthrow the current Syrian leadership.

I don't drink the Kool Aid, but I worry that there will be anything left for my kids when they grow up.

Mr. Miller I understand through your example that your concern is genuine...especially for your childrens future. That is admirable. But remember how the M.E. war started? A US government lie. WMD's in Iraq...never found. AND an admitted lie...10 years later...3500+ deaths later...nearly 40,000 maimed boys and girls later. Countless families here destroyed. Billions and billions of dollars later. I have no trust for our government, sir. Neither fed or state. I consider myself governed by a Constitution...and common sense. It is in my opinion that our elected officials have themselves first...everyone else is second. We taxpayers suffer for their misdeeds. Until the taxpayers put them back in their place where they belong...answering to the People...the damage inflicted by a govt out of control will be disasterous. You can worry about a new M.E. war if you want to. But the damage at home should be your first concern as a taxpayer.

SWT Resident, there is much you don't know about the Middle East war. I'm assuming you aren't a vet who was stationed there or deployed there. I am. WMD's were there. That, I can assure you.

And Mr. Miller...as far as illegal immigration...our fed govt is the main problem here. States, including PA, are trying to defend themselves because illegal immigration is running rampant. Cities in PA are just overrun with illegals taking jobs for less than minimum wage putting yet more Americans out of work. Then, the fed has the ka-hoonies to tell the states: leave it alone. Immigration is ours. Well then...do your job! Cut the flow of illegals and you will stem a potential major form of illegal voting. Why? Because we do have a weak President since his policies can't keep him, elected...he thinks stacking the deck with beholding voters with their hands out...illegal immigrants...will assure his re-election. We have many issues. I prefer the govt to do their job NOT over step their bounds. Deciding who can and can not vote...is way out of the govt bounds.

Mr. Miller.....in regards to WMD's...then someone lied. Were there WMD's or weren't there? The fed govt has said yes AND no. I was/am not a vet. I was the only male in my family who did not have the honor to serve. I truly appreciate your services to your fellow Americans and your nation. My opinion on the M.E. war: we don't belong sticking our nose in some other nations business. This war was and is about oil....black gold. Money. Control. And power. 9/11...God rest their souls...was a wake up call. The US has played both sides against the middle and deserved to get their fingers slapped. Finally. Too bad innocent lives were lost because of a two faced government. Our govt does not practice what they preach. Our govt has a well established record of don't do what we do...do what we tell you to do. This is in direct conflict with our God given Constitution.

a valid ID is FAR different from a VOTER id!

I have what PennDot considers a valid ID- it is NOT what is valid for voting under this new law- you simply do not know the facts.
Penn Dot does not allow me to get 2 ID's- I must PAY early to get my licensed renewed and I MUST per PennDot do so on line and GO EARLY to meet the requirements for this law.
My VALID ID from the state (PennDot) does not have my photo on it- they DO NOT issue it that way.
I wish more people really understood this so many simple do not and thing everyone has a valid photo ID- it is not true.
AND my PennDot issued PA ID is valid according to PennDot and the rest of PA except for voting----------yes this really does cause hardship to many!

The Comrey's I guess you are simply misinformed and applied for the wrong type of ID, I see many nondriver Identifications and they all have pictures, you have a little less than 4 months to get one, go here and they waive the fee if you do http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/voter/voteridlaw.shtml

just follow the rules and you will be allowed to vote, without rules we have anarchy

Tim Killimaji you simply are wrong, you are not allowed "2" ID's form PennDot!

I have one, the exact same one anyone who MOVES has- it's a change of address card, NO picture and you can not get another as you state- per PennDot.
My photo is NEARLY expired and the proof is a NON-photo until I PAY early and get it-MANY people are in the same spot as me- I am not misinformed- this is a real problem for people who have expired dates after the Nov election-this WILL effects others.
Both political party has said it is "OK", they both say "they SHOULD except it" and will simply give you a ballot BUT you still have 6 days to produce a PHOTO that matches your address- when you MOVE it simply does not. Simply fact is it is UP TO the poll worker IF they will take it- not the donkeys or elephants and a NON-photo ID is valid and PennDot does not give them FREE when you already have one like I do!
I have contacted PennDot.

So what do you use Comreys to get into a bar or in a liquor store if carded, I have never seen any valid ID without a photo.

I just read your comment, you must keep your photo ID along with your address change card, for drivers when pulled over you NEED to show both! If you were that dumb and threw the photo card away that is your fault you cannot vote. I have only been an adult 16 yrs we moved our first time when I was 19 yrs old and I was smart enough to know to keep both because for a drivers license you need to show both when pulled over till the original one is renewed.

When you get the address card the number on the card matches the number on the photo ID, same as your drivers license number matches the number on your address change card.

I have moved 3 times, I think I had address change cards already

Both the Presidential elections in 1969 and 2008. There were scores of dead people who voted. And the word is 'Cite.'

The examples are out there, people like you just prefer to put on blinders.

Mr. Miller...do you have any confirmed reports of voter fraud specifically in PA? I don't care what happens in Chicago, which is a well known leader in corruption...especially politically related corruption. There are 24 states that either have a voter ID law or are considering one. Four of those states proposed law we already know will be rejected. That leaves 30 states with unfettered access to vote. If this is as important as some make it...why isn't this a federal law?

SWT Resident, if SHOULD be a federal law, in my opinion. The federal government spends trillions of dollars frivolously to fund pet projects designed to either memorialize themselves or get themselves reelected. They spend billions for our President to vacation all over the world on our dime, to bailout companies that should have failed and to write laws trying to legislate morality that are repeatedly struck down by the Supreme Court.

Oh, and Pennsylvania voter fraud- it was common in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

Good idea....only good GOD FEARING WHITE AMERICANS VOTE.....you brown people, you black people, you people who don't speak English good........don't worry about what will happen to you........trust us. I love how all the references are the Heritage Foundation, Faux News and all the other bigotted organizations are the trusted news sources. Puh-leeez.

oh and I forgot, iff'n you don't go the the 'right church' and worship Republican Jesus the way we do .....you don't get a say either. Loved how the woman questioned was denied over a marriage license in HEBREW.....after all, don't most Jews vote Democrat (more stereotyping for you)

Gramma24, you really sound like a fool here, whether or not you realize it. You took this conversation to a racist, antisemitic place that it didn't need to go. People like you are the problem with this country today. You think you're so much more politically correct and better than others, you don't even realize how foolish you sound.

As far as one language at the polls, it's a fair things to ask. English is the official language of the United States of America.

Yeah, that is the point. Here in Easton it's not a big deal.... but there is evidence of a few instances. In large metropoltan areas, it does become a big deal.
At Heritage Day today, all needed a photo ID to buy a beer, fer gawds sake.
Don't got one?........call me or the D or R committees!

thank god, the last thing we need is for more year of Obamania, vote early vote often for the next President of the United States of America, Mitt Romney, Change we can all believe in

No when you get a drivers license they ask if you want to register to vote, and like I said they match the number of both cards, how do you think they do organ donation with a license with one address and an address change card, how do you think they find your next of kin when killed in an accident with your new address and a different license address, that is why you must carry both cards you need them both to vote or if there is some sort of new law you are out of luck voting till you renew it and get the card changed.

Please. It's ok for our President to force people to prove they have health insurance or face a fine, but it's not ok to ask people to produce an id to vote. Yeah, your priorities are really in check.

Very well said...

When fascism comes to a country it is usually wrapped in a flag carrying a large cross.....do I hear 'glory, glory, hallelujah' being whistled in the background...what about 'unable to physically get to a DMV don't you get?

What about "No id, no vote" don't YOU get? This is America and a lot of good men and women died to give us that right. They didn't die to give illegal aliens the right to vote or the thousands of dead people who somehow voted for President Obama in 2008, they died for CITIZENS. There are programs for the elderly to vote, nobody is being denied the right because they can't get to the DMV. Nice try, though.

By the way, you clearly no nothing about fascism and I would suggest you look it up. Fascism is very much AGAINST Christianity and considers itself its own religion.

"This religion sacralized the state and assigned it the primary educational task of transforming the mentality, the character, and the customs of Italians. The aim was to create a 'new man,' a believer in and an observing member of the cult of Fascism." -Emelio Gentile, Italian historian who specializes in fascism
"Among committed [Nazi] believers, a mythic world of eternally strong heroes, demons, fire and sword - in a word, the fantasy world of the nursery - displaced reality." -Michael Burleigh, WWII historian and expert on NAZI Socialism

You're welcome, you so obviously needed the help. I don't know who have of the "news" sources you mentioned even are and the only side that has invoked racial overtones is the Democrats with Biden's remarks about putting people in chains. There's a reason FOX is the most watched news network in America and it's the same reason Conservative radio programs are the top rated radio programs in America. The average citizen is sick of people like you, who have probably done nothing to help your fellow man, sitting in your ivory towers and telling the rest of us how to feel and act.

I don't need the government to legislate my morality and you can pull the race card all you want, it only makes you look like more of a fool. As I proved above with socialism, you know very few actual facts and post on emotion, backed by the glory of your mighty leader.... but oh, how the mighty have fallen. Obama made a lot of promises and then he broke a lot of promises. He doesn't have a prayer of winning in November.

"half" not "have"
