Voter ID momentum stirs in West Virginia

According to two articles out of West Virginia here and here, voter ID will be an issue in the coming state legislative session.  As Republicans make political gains in West Virginia and the state is hit with multiple voter fraud scandals, photo ID legislation is again on the agenda and hiding from the issue is not an option. West Virginia Democrats risk losing credibility with voters by killing the popular legislation for partisan reasons. 

Of interest, the Democrat Secretary of State Natalie Tenant seems to endorse the need for confirmation of identity of a voter at the polls by insisting the current ID requirement serves its purpose.  She also endorses the use of digital photos in precincts to confirm the identity of voters at the polls.  However, she is less enthused on having the voter bring a license or other photo ID to the polls.  Of course, that is the easiest and least expensive alternative. 

Democrats really give the voters no credit at all.
