It really isn't, nor is it unreasonable. That said their needs to be a free, concrete, and lifetime ID system to do it or it is not right. An expired or lost ID should not preclude a citizen from voting.

It is just like when people say we need to do.more to get people to register. Well it is about the easiest thing you will ever do. Fact is if you don't bother to register until someone begs at your door to do it, then you don't really care enough or have enough ambition for me to care about your lack of representation and see you as too dumb and lazy to want you to vote.

@MethDozer A lost or expired ID card should stop someone from voting. Just like a lost or expired driver's license excuse - which doesn't get you out of a ticket or give you any special treatment. People should be held accountable.

@LadyBronte Bullshit, that is a denial of a right and there is no reason it should expire or have a fee for the ability to exercise a Constitutional right. It becomes a permit then. Rights should not have to have a permit. Period.

Nor do I think we should've to pay to have our licenses renewed just to pay into the system and hide a tax.

Can't have everything willy nilly otherwise criminals of all kinds would have a heyday. There have to be rules, laws, and PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. In the real adult world, you don't get to fly by the seat of your pants being careless and irresponsible.

@LadyBronte Again,Constitutional rights are not privileges. A voter I'd should not cost anything or expire otherwise it is bullshit.

Nor should criminals be denied a Constitutional right. It is actually UnConstitutional to deny them. It is an absurd travesty of justice and basically gives government a way of denying citizens. Don't want your group to have voice? Criminalize them.

Illegal aliens don't have constitutional rights.

@LadyBronte You said criminals not aliens. And actually yes they do have Constituional rights that aren't specifically given to citizens only. The courts have rules on this and it actual is mentioned in the document.
