This point has been made a number of times over the last 10 years (at least), the Democrats consistently across states and federally reject any kind of voter ID requirement. It’s pretty obvious why, they need and want the votes whether they are legal or not. It’s called subverting the system through illegal means. Barney Frank’s continuous funding for ACORN (they’ve been found guilty of voter fraud in a number of states) and ACORN’s voter registration shenanigans demonstrates the Democrat support for these illegal votes.

From National Review by Hans A. von Spackovsky - Illegal Voting (The non-citizen electorate)

The Government Accountability Office estimated that up to 3 percent of individuals called for jury duty from voter registration rolls in just one U.S. district court were not U.S. citizens. While that may not seem like a large number, it’s more than enough to tip close elections — say, Florida in 2000.. Florida has over a million illegal aliens, and the Justice Department has prosecuted non-citizens, including a state-legislature candidate, for voting there. In California, a congressional seat came within 200 votes of being stolen in 1996 by non-citizens’ voting; a city councilmember was permanently disqualified from public office for soliciting non-citizens to vote in Compton in 2001.

After a grand-jury investigation of the 1982 Illinois governor’s race resulted in the conviction of aliens for illegally registering and voting, the U.S. Attorney estimated that there were 80,000 non-citizens registered to vote in Chicago. In 1985, the district director of the Immigration and Naturalization Services testified in the Illinois legislature that 25,000 illegal and 40,000 legal aliens remained registered in Chicago. The grand jury found that aliens registered so they could “obtain documents identifying them as U.S. citizens” and had used their voter registration cards “to obtain a myriad of benefits, from social security to jobs with the Defense Department.” More recently, Bexar County, Texas, found hundreds of aliens registered to vote, some of whom had voted in a dozen local, state, and federal elections, and Harris County found a Norwegian citizen who had voted in a state legislative race decided by only 33 votes. Similar accounts from other states such as Utah and Arizona demonstrate that this is a widespread phenomena.

That honor system of registering to vote works so well with the Democrats doesn’t it? But then, when you have Ophelia Ford of Memphis elected to the TN State Senate by votes from dead people who needs voter ID?
