You cannot be sure that you will vote even if you have a valid ID with the GOP in charge. All the GOP has to do is send out its little minions to challenge anyone they think will vote Democrat. They can even thwart you vote by insisting on a provisional ballot even if you have an ID. If they are bold enough to question Obama's real birth certificate, they are bold enough to claim anyone's ID is a fake. By the time you win your case the election will be over.
The GOP simply believes that non supporters have no right to vote. The do it by their rhetoric, by their actions and by their policies. They just do not believe in elections. Just ask karl rove. The GOP should be the only party.
The fact that they are attacking all the voters who put Obama in office is proof that they want a coup and not an election. And they should be challenged on that issue.
