    You need to update the title:

        People don't have Constitutional rights.
        Rights come from God; the Constitution only protects them.

        The government is not taking away people's rights. It is not a "right" to vote in an election where one is ineligible to vote. All this is doing is ensuring that eligible voters are eligible. If women are too lazy to register under their changed name... then I guess voting's not all that important to them.

          There are ways to ensure that people are eligible to vote that don't involve unnecessarily discriminatory tactics. For example... the way they had already been doing it previously. This new law is totally unnecessary and discriminatory.

            the law is not discriminatory. You have to have an ID to do anything. There is too much voter fraud and it especially happens where you do not have to show ID. this idea that poor people don't have ID-they have to have ID to get foodstamps, WIC, medicare-

            Let's see. To open a bank account, I need an ID. To operate a motor vehicle, I need an ID. To cash a check, I need an ID. To sign up for unemployment, I need an ID. To exercise the most important task in my power, I DON"T? Where is the contradiction? We have seen the chicanery to which men will stoop to satisfy their cupidity when it comes to power. Do you not think they will cavil at invalidating the ballot box to achieve their ends? If you think they will, you, indeed, live in an ivory tower far removed from actuality.

    I want a (blankety blank) poll test!

    You have to identify the candidates, their party, and the office for which they're running. You have to identify the issues (multiple choice questions will do) .

    This would at least guarantee that those voting would be *aware* of the issues and candidates for whom they're voting.

    If women are either to lazy or to incapable of changing their names they are probably also to lazy or to incapable of voting. The 'poor' sure find an ID for food stamps and every other freebee.

    Here's the thing. If women have not updated their ID, they are not likely to have changed their name on the voting records either. It is off your social security number-which is way harder to change your name on than getting a new driver's license. Ever go down to the SS office? worse than DMV. In most states you can register to vote online. If you don't have a social-that's a pretty big tip-off you are ineligible to vote.

      So if you want to vote, update your freaking ID.

      Here's an idea; it's the 21st century. Don't take your husband's name if you're too lazy to do all the work necessary to change your identity.

      What about people in witness protection, or who otherwise change their ID, like maybe I want to change mine to "John Galt".

      If you want to vote, if it's important to you, update your ID or don't take your husband's name.

      Why bother with the SS office? Just get a fake SSN like illegal aliens do.

      Cause then there would be no tipoff that you're ineligible...
