Even if they vote they don’t invalidate my vote or anyone else." I already know you won't believe this but let me try anyway. Assume you are in a district which includes you and 207 illegal potential voters. Let's just say you want to vote for President Obama's re elction and that just a hundred of them choose to vote and they vote for Governor Romney. They tally up the votes. Obama got one, Romney got 100. Yes, you got to vote and yes, your vote was counted but the illegal votes outnumbered you and he lost. David, you're crazy. The election wouldn't be determined by a hundred votes. Yes, I am, and no it wouldn't. But that doesn't change the fact that a small number of illegal votes COULD undo the will of the legal citizens. Further, until they checked, they were afraid it might be as many as 2600, Republicans are sometimes paranoid, but what if it had really been so? We DEFINITELY know that's enough to throw a statewide vote and to change the course of a national election. David for respect to law whenever possible REGARDING:

Just more liberal manipulation of the law. It’s not a burden to show an ID to get food stamps, but it is to vote? Just more liberal manipulation of the law.

Why not just take a thumb print like many other states? California has been doing this for years...you go in, they scan your thumb and get on with it. What is this pile of papers we have to drag around about? Not to mention many people have had driver's licenses here most of their lives and all of a sudden they have to take marriage licenses, birth certificates, etc. in...BTW all can be forged...thumb prints can't.
