Anybody catch any of this.

The Fed's have paid these people to come up with a program for photo IDs to vote. They can't even agree on their final report. Carter implies the $25 fee constitutes a poll tax and is repugnant. Baker argues it's already paid and legislated for. I must be missing something in the exposition but still want my money back.

Seems to me if you've a drivers license you've a photo ID and have paid a tax. If you've paid no taxes $25 for 5 years seems a small price to pay to participate in elections (the Constitution suggests 100 acres or its equivilent as a condition of suffrage).

Registered 'independent' I'm an election inspector in a Democrat precinct. I find it comical that I cannot demand proof of identity but was reprimanded because the well-fare office where we vote had Prop' 200 (illegal aliens need not apply) signs in view of the location.

We accept all takers and if you're misdocumented you get a 'provisional ballot' which means you're float tested.

This 'anybody that walks up can vote' thingy is so messed up.
We got to get a handle on this. Hell, give the damn photo id, just make sure they are a citizen first.
No wonder the Commiecrats get so many votes. Most of them aren't even legal citizens. Take that away from them and they would really be in the dumps.
Can't think of anyother reason they would fight so hard against identification of legal voters.

Whatever Jimmuh recommends, we do the opposite. Jimmuh's ideas are disasters.
