WASHINGTON, March 27, 2014 – Among hot button issues that generally animate progressives and Democrats, is any attempt to shore up the system by which we establish that a potential voter is eligible to vote. They say that there is very little evidence of any voter fraud and that vote integrity efforts are partisan attempts to make casting ballots complicated for minorities. Typical of the rhetoric is this, from theAmerican Civil Liberties Union (ACLU):

“Voting rights are under attack in this country as state legislatures nationwide pass voter suppression laws under the pretext of preventing voter fraud and safeguarding election integrity. These voter suppression laws take many forms, and collectively lead to significant burdens for eligible voters trying to exercise their most fundamental constitutional right.”

What you find out when you read further, is that the ACLU bases this claim on nothing more than the estimate they provide that 11 percent of potential voters, “lack such ID, and would be required to navigate the administrative burdens to obtain it or forego the right to vote entirely.”  As this is an unsubstantiated talking point in wide circulation among Democrats, the data point of 11% may be inflated or fictitious altogether.

There now is the hysterical caterwauling from partisan hacks about last week’s federal court decision  giving states the go ahead to require proof of identity and further claims of disadvantaged would be voters.

Is there any reality to their claims?

Let’s start with the last contention first. Does requiring some form of valid identification at the polling place disenfranchise voters of color or the elderly? I’ve yet heard anyone making the claim, prove that claim. Most of the states adopting new rules for certifying eligibility, require a photo ID. Common sense tells us that the majority of voters are also participating in other regular activities for which such a form of identification is required.

The City of New York outlines just a few:

1. Cashing a check.
2. Applying for a job.
3. Opening a bank account
4. Getting an apartment.
5. Applying for college.
6. Airplane travel.
7. Public Assistance.
8. Hospital visits.
9. Library cards.
10. Memberships to a gym.

To that list could be added; using debit cards, driving a car, gaining access to a public building, verifying a theme park pass, picking up prescriptions, renting a car or hotel accommodations, and buying alcohol. You could also add Michelle Obama’s book signing at the White House and the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, NC.

There are probably dozens more, but the point is that in 2014, everyday functions are inseparable from the need to positively establish one’s identity.

The reason opponents to verified voting avoid citing examples of individuals to whom a personal ID is a prohibitive barrier to casting a ballot, is because such individuals are generally non-existent. Try to think of even an elderly person in a convalescent home that doesn’t have an ID. You can’t.

But, just for the sake of argument, let’s assume that such an ID challenged individual does exist. The states that have adopted the new requirements have included provisions for such people to easily and affordably obtain an identification card. The technology is here – now.

Consider the case of Mexico for instance:

Mexico, that country that liberals applaud when their leaders complain about our harsh immigration enforcement practices – doesn’t trust politicians or voters at the regional, state or federal levels. Mexico’s Instituto Federal Electoral (IFE) an autonomous, non-partisan organization charged with free and fair elections contracts the manufacture of voter ID cards to a private firm from America called Digimarc. Digimarc’s Mexico-based secure ID factory began production of voter ID cards on March 29, 2004.  Since then, well over 25 million credentials have been produced and Mexico’s voter ID card is now widely regarded as one of the most secure, reliable voter identification systems in the world.
