MSN: Governor Roy Cooper of North Carolina.\u00a0<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Democrats like to argue that “voter ID” discriminates against minorities. This argument does not pass the basic common-sense test. Minorities, like everybody else, need ID cards (driver’s license) in order to drive. They need ID cards in order to purchase alcohol (qualifying age).<\/p>\n

The assumption, that minorities have a hard time getting ID cards, paints minorities as being unable to solve normal everyday problems.<\/p>\n

A trip to the DMV would show both Caucasian and minority customers. Minorities are also able to get ID cards for use at recreation centers. Student ID? No problem. Minorities don’t have problems getting on flights, they have to show an ID card to get through TSA.<\/p>\n

Go to the passport office, or somewhere that helps put together passport applications, and you’ll see all races and both genders represented.<\/p>\n

In North Carolina, the Republican-led legislator sent a bill to the Governor’s desk. This was a bill that would require showing a valid ID card prior to voting. The Governor, a Democrat, vetoed the bill. The Republican-led Legislature successfully overrode the veto.<\/p>\n

From MSN.com:<\/span><\/p>\n

Republicans steered a photo voter ID question onto the November ballot as a constitutional amendment, and 55 percent of voters approved it.<\/p>\n

Lawmakers followed up with a bill to implement the amendment. Cooper vetoed the bill last week. During a news conference Tuesday, he said the Legislature should have waited until next session to talk about voter ID. The Legislature will have more Democrats next year, and Republicans will no longer have veto-proof majorities in the House and Senate.<\/p>\n

The House vote followed a heated debate in which Republicans criticized Cooper for his veto and Democrats recounted the state’s history of racism, from slavery to the present.<\/p>\n

State Rep. David Lewis, a Harnett County Republican, said Cooper insulted voters who approved photo ID. Lewis said he worked hard to make it easy for voters to comply with a new law.<\/p>\n

The law counts as acceptable IDs driver licenses, passports, military and veteran IDs, tribal enrollment cards, college IDs, state ID cards issued to nondrivers, state and municipal employee IDs, and a new type of ID issued by local boards of election.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

People who don’t have the required ID would be able to cast provisional ballots after signing an affidavit at the polls explaining why they do not have one.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
