Deroy Murdock: American Photo ID Day

 Washington Times.  Great article by Deroy Murdock, the man with the best out of office messages known to man:

“Race-baiting Democrats apparently couldn’t care less about these undocumented citizens. If they did, they would lead a common-sense effort to provide photo ID cards to every American adult who needed one. By displaying new ID cards on Election Day, these politically enfranchised Americans would curb potential and actual ballot fraud and boost confidence in the voting system.

Beyond Election Day, these freshly documented citizens would be socially enfranchised. With photo ID cards, they could cash checks, fly, visit government buildings and do plenty more that documented citizens accomplish daily.


“It’s perplexing how so many groups complaining about voter ID laws have the funds to register voters, educate voters and transport voters to the polls, but never budget anything to rectify ID problems,” declared Deneen Borelli, a fellow advisory board member of Project 21, a network of market-oriented black thinkers.


Civil rights organizations and other groups that rail against photo ID rules “should dedicate their resources to help people get IDs rather than complain about laws that have passed,” said J. Christian Adams, a former Justice Department voting rights attorney and author of the legal-policy page-turner “Injustice.” “That’s what they did in 1964. But it’s harder to raise funds off of accomplishments rather than complaints.” Mr. Adams introduced me to the challenge of credentialing America’s undocumented citizens.”
