Americans are more likely to be struck by lightening than commit voter fraud.
So why is there such a big push to pass tough voter identification laws? There are numerous bills out there on this issue. Critics say the laws would deter millions of Americans - particularly minorities - from voting.

I am a Disabled 56yr old (W) Male. I have a SS card,Birth Certificate,Cable TV,HSI,Phone Service,Voters Registration Card and a Checking Account that my Federal Disability Check is Directly Deposited to. What I do not have is a car or a Virginia Photo ID. It will cost money for Transportation to a DMV and for the Photo ID. I consider these cost to be an ILLEGAL POLL TAX.
