Show ID to Vote - "Exposed" on MS-NBC

In a silly and very misleading report, MS-NBC proves why they are not capable of journalism. The official description stated "The Rachel Maddow Show: Voter ID advocate imposes rules that don't exist
Oct. 14: Rachel Maddow reports on Tom Weaver and his "Show ID To Vote" advocacy campaign that somehow was allowed to set up inside a polling place and present its platform as though it were official rules for voting.

Um, HELLO! It's supposed to make voter FRAUD harder, not voting. I commend Mr. Weaver for recognizing the huge problem voting fraud is, and working to rectify it. And here in Massachusetts, no less. Kudos to Weaver! :D

Rachel Maddow doesn't like rules after all.  Great job Tom, you got their attention!!

[iampappy1010]

Its funny that the democrats who control California have passed laws that require ID to purchase cold tablets and spray paint cans but ID to vote is over the line ????

"Hispanics are much more lilkely to lose the ID that made it possible for them to register in the first place"

And they say REPUBLICANS like to stereotype.

@ojos60 No you have that wrong, the Democrats want to have illegals voting, and have cartoon characters and dead people voting, and have people vote multiple times to win. Showing the proper ID prevents voter fraud. But you liberals are all for voter fraud just as long as your guy get's voted for, it doesn't matter. That's why you liberals are against in making this a law. What so hard about going to the DMV and getting a state ID or driver's licence?

[simwrangler]

Now tell me, what's so hard about going to the DMV to get a driver's licence or state ID? If people are too stupid to fill out a form to get the proper ID then they shouldn't be voting. A student ID is not good enough, because their are foreigners who are only here on a student visa who shouldn't be voting in the first place.

Anyone without ID must not drive a car, have a job, cash a check, have a bank account, drink alcoholic beverages, smoke, watch an R rated movie, rent/buy their residence, or do 100 other things you need an ID for!! Lets just make getting an ID from the DMV free and then there will be no excuse for this "ID discrimination" this dumb lady is talking about. I, for one, want my voter rights to be protected, so no one can vote in my name. Ever been a victim of ID fraud??? I have!!!!!

~^~^~^~^~Americans should know the differEnce between voter fraud and ELECTION FRAUD. Voter fraud is non-existent. ELECTION FRAUD DOES EXIST. REPUBLICANS have a reputation for using DIEBOLD ELECTRONIC voting machines to commit ELECTION FRAUD. CALLyour congressperson & SENATOR & DEMAND the ELIMINATION of ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES & that we switch to a VERIFIABLE PAPER VOTING METHOD. ~~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~To win in 2012 REPUBLICANS will NOT hesitate to use ELECTION FRAUD AGAIN

[ojos60]

Republicans fear they can't win an election fair and square which is why they resort to scare tactics and voter suppression. Tom Weaver wants to intimidate voters with a camera. He is using the fear of fraud to do justify his illegal stunt. Show ID is not a law. It's a facebook page. The Republican party condones these cheating tactics because they're losers.

Incidentally, Maddow is the one who compared that Tea Party movement to the KKK!
