Iowa Secretary of State advocates voter ID bill
"You have to show an ID before you get on an airplane, you have to show an ID before you open a checking account, and if you like beer you have to show ID before you buy a beer so why not when you vote?" Schultz said.
The usual lies.
Schultz said in addition to a photo ID, he would like to see all counties have access to an electronic database called a poll book, that would enable election officials to swipe an ID, like a credit card, and determine if a person has voting rights.
Schultz said he did not know the added cost of providing free ID or pollbooks, but did not feel like the expense would be prohibitive.
How much will the free ID's cost? Here in Indiana the average cost of a free ID is $12.
Schultz's plan, to make voting contingent on swiping a card, is the next step; it's where Voter ID is headed. What could possibly go wrong?
