		<description>This is a very old battle . . . Republicans are always talking about &quot;potential&quot; voter fraud but you rarely ever hear anyone getting prosecuted for it whether there&#039;s a Republican or Democrat attorney general in charge because the cases just don&#039;t exist.  

On the other hand, there were case afrer case of voter intimidation prosecuted and that&#039;s the very reason all these laws and protections involving voting were put into place.  

This is plain and simple a tactic to disenfranchise as many poor and minority voters close to an election as possible.  In certain parts of the country and in voters of a certain age, birth certificates were NEVER given at birth so to demand one to exercise what is supposed to be a Constitutional Right is ridiculous!</description>

		<description>Its a problem because some very poor Americans can&#039;t get a ride to the motor vec. dept to get an id or have no birth certificate, and no way to get to the health dept to get it.  Nor can the afford to pay for both.  It is discrimination because it is usually the very  physically disabled and very poor black population. Its like the South assuring that very poor Black folks, the very poor white folks and the physically disabled   are unable to vote. It is republicans fearful that those populations will vote democratic. Lets just be honest.</description>

		<description>REGARDING:
&quot;Why is it a problem to come and show you are natural -born or naturalized.&quot;

It isn&#039;t a problem. 

The problem seems to lie in complying with federal law under the fifteenth amendment with the requirement that changes in registration lists be finished more than 90 days before an election.

Please consider the alternative: 

You go up to cast your vote. You are told that your name was removed from the list of registered voters yesterday, so you can&#039;t vote. 

Perhaps you could go home, get documents to prove you are indeed a citizen of the United States and a resident in that voting district, drive down to Pensacola, convince the supervisor of elections you are a legal voter and have him reinstate you to your previous status as a registered voter.

Unless the time for voting has passed, of course.

And then you go back to cast your ballot only to be told there was ANOTHER challenge to your legal voting status.

At some point you might well decide they were being unreasonable. To avoid hitting that point, supposedly there is a federal law requiring the whole rigamarole be completed at least 90 days ere the vote.

Does that sound unreasonable?
