  2. Cripes!
    I can’t vote in ANY election here in America’s Hat© without showing ID or proof of residency…unless I’m an university student in Guelph….heh

  3. Although I have lived in 6 provinces I have only voted in 2. I am 65 and have never been asked for ID.

  4. Try renting a car without ID sometime. Or getting on an airplane, opening a bank account… I had to come up with a frickin’ passport to buy Advil Sinus pills in Phoenix, and the stupid kid behind the counter wasn’t going to accept it as valid ID because it wasn’t on his “approved” list. Had to whisper the word “LAWSUIT!” to the manager.
    On the other hand, I think it would ROCK if I could walk around with no ID all the time and pay cash for stuff. So maybe we are going at this backward and voting is the last bastion of freedom?
    Here’s a thought: If the minority/illegal vote suddenly went Republican, how fast would the DemocRats be demanding voter ID out the wazoo?

  5. Tony?
    No ID?
    I’m genuinely surprised.
    I’ve been asked for proof of ID every time I’ve voted here in Ontario.
    Provincial AND Federal.
    Can’t be bothered with Municipal elections…maybe I should.

    “only DemocRats/leftard socialists,etc. need answer. Us VRWC pipples know the answer”

    I was born in Ont.Joined RCN @ 17 and left for NS.
    I can understand why I was never asked for ID on any ship.
    Early 60’s couldn’t vote prov because I was single and next of kin were in Ont.
    Moved to BC in 76 and have voted in all fed,prov, and mun elections since and never been asked for ID.
    May-be it’s a left coast thing.

  8. I had to show ID in AB in the last federal election. I had an issue with an address change, and had to find another ID with my new address. The ladies were pretty strict about it. I doubt they’d be nearly as strict if a raghead showed up with ID issues. Thank goodness there’s only a handful of them in my town. Still leary of a rock between the shoulder blades.

  9. I’d bet money that a black person would have been able to get the drink and the hotel room without ID if even asked.
    Feign some outrage add a hint at discrimination; boom the doors swing open wide.

  10. Only problem i have with this is they keep going on and on. You made your point already at the bar and motel.
    I would ban them just for being obnoxious.

  11. This is not really proving a point without a counter balance.
    Meaning to validate, we need a control, or like having an actual black person, visible minority, with or without head gear do this.

  12. They missed the obvious follow-up,and that would be to get the I.D. and show them that they were not the “person” who was given the ballot.
    In Alberta ,I had to show my ID to buy a money order from my bank account. The teller called the manager over because my passport was three weeks expired. He pointed this outin a haughty tone while looking down his nose. My reply was ” Yes it is. What is your point? “. The dipshot was baffled.
    After a minute or two of back and forth,I got my money order for free,and I’m not a minority…yet.
    I

  13. the idea that requiring ID is somehow ‘disenfranchising’ people stems from the fact that it’s too hard to fake ID’s now so the ‘vote early and vote often’ tactics of the leftists would be compromised…that and it would make it more difficult to explain why everyone in the riding voted yet only half of them showed up at the polling station…
    anyone without a form of photo ID, obviously doesn’t have a bank account, use government services, drive, fly, have a passport…(odd, you’d think a legal immigrant would have the passport they used to get here)…or do anything else in modern society…including going to school or University..I had a student picture ID 40 years ago, I’d assume they’re still issued…
    you need an ID to get welfare, use health care (health cards require a birth certificate to be issued or renewed in this province, at least)
    no, the only people inconvenienced by ID laws are the dead ones that shuffle up to vote dem/liebral…and the woman that was declared dead and unable to vote got to because she HAD photo ID…
    of course, given that the vote count has already been determined and entered into the diebold system makes the entire matter moot.

  14. wallyj >
    “…I’m not a minority…yet.”
    You are to the globalists, which is one reason why you’re discriminated against.
    +7 Billion people and you are neither in the majority, nor the preferred demographic regardless of where you live.

  15. the Zero didn’t need proper ID to git into the white house, wot the h3ll gives????

  16. and here’s the prime example why ID laws are needed…although making a few dozen or a few dozen thousand fake ones wouldn’t be beyond the ‘we’re entitled to govern’ liebral…maybe make all voters dip their thumb in indelible ink instead like they do in the ‘undeveloped’ countries ? and then get rid of the black panthers, seiu goons and ‘occupiers’ guarding the doors…
    http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/03/13/OKeefe%20Video%20Exposes%20Voter%20Fraud-Friendly%20Policies%20in%20Vermont
    James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas has released a new video exposing just how easy it is to commit voter fraud in Vermont.
    The video, a sequel to O’Keefe’s “Primary of the Living Dead” in New Hampshire, shows a Veritas agent entering various voting places around the state of Vermont, giving a different name each time. Each time, he is given a ballot without showing an ID, to his disbelief.
    In the video, the agent repeatedly requests (but does not take) a Republican primary ballot. As he explained to Breitbart.com: “We wanted to remind viewers this is not a partisan issue. This is a situation wherein anyone — Republican or Democrat — can exploit the system.”
    The new video follows in the wake of a highly-politicized media attack on Mr. O’Keefe after his exposure of voter fraud in New Hampshire. Those videos resulted in calls from the left for O’Keefe’s arrest. However, the videos soon resulted in the New Hampshire State Senate passing a new bill requiring voter ID.
    O’Keefe’s new video from Vermont could not be more timely, coming the day after the U.S. Department of Justice’s civil rights division blocked a Texas photo ID requirement for voters–to the applause of the American Civil Liberties Union, which claimed that the law was “discriminatory” against “Latinos, African-Americans, elderly citizens, and others.”
    As the Project Veritas video shows, the current system in Vermont discriminates against actual legal voters, who must face the prospect of disenfranchisement by those who would vote in their stead illegally, or have their votes cancelled out by those voting illegally in place of deceased voters who have yet to be removed from the rolls. If it is not discriminatory for Vermont citizens to be required to show ID to get married or buy alcohol, it is certainly not discriminatory to make them show ID to vote.
    “It is a national disgrace that ballots can be given out in the names of dead people,” O’Keefe told Breitbart.com. “Threats of government intimidation will not stop us from protecting the integrity of the ballot box. If any state has a system which encourages ballots to be given out to the wrong person, dead or alive, we will come to your state, we will film your poll workers, and Project Veritas will put the videos on YouTube. States like Vermont and New Hampshire have to take dead people off voter registration forms and clean up their act, once and for all.”

  18. You need ID to buy booze or Cigarettes. Voting though is open season. Just think about that. What the State really values more?

  19. I’ve said all along, that Obama will try to steal the 2012 election. That’s his modus operandi.

  20. wallyj writes, “They missed the obvious follow-up, and that would be to get the I.D. and show them that they were not the ‘person’ who was given the ballot.”
    I guess because the film makers already knew they weren’t, in fact, the ones on the ballot—and no one’s questioning that fact—the next step you mention wasn’t really necessary to make their point.
    Also, if they came back with their actual ID and challenged the folks, who were willing to hand them the ballots, the game would be up before the film makers gathered all their evidence.
    Going to get their ID, before taking the ballot under false pretences, was, in fact, a fine ruse for the film makers to get themselves out of the room, without taking the ballot, which, I believe, would have been illegal.

  22. Hey, wallyj, I agree: it would have been interesting to see the reaction of the clerks. (But, of course, it’s not their fault at all!)
