SUGGESTION TO GOP: MAKE VOTER PHOTO ID AN ISSUE

I'd like to see every state check a voter's PHOTO ID before they vote.

Heck: if you have to show a photo ID to buy a beer, then why shouldn't you have to do it to vote!? Research proves that it increases turnout, and is non-discriminatory. And the public overwhelmingly supports it, especially soccer moms and independents - who are all about fighting fair.

But the best thing about the issue - from a purely partisan POV - is that the Dem politicians oppose voter photo ID; (more HERE).

I would argue that the Dem politicians oppose it because Voter ID laws would hamper their massive voter-fraud machines - (which they've been using for generations, and which they probably used in Wisconsin and PA to help Kerry, and which they were caught using in Missouri, and elsewhere in 2004).

I think this issue could be a great issue for the GOP - as good as any as far as uniting the base and attracting independents. The Dems are the party of appeasement abroad and voter fraud at home.
