RALEIGH - The public had an opportunity to share its thoughts on a proposed voter identification bill in the General Assembly.
Republicans are pushing the bill to require poll workers to ask for a picture ID before allowing someone to vote. Those without a photo ID would have to then vote a provisional ballot and present a signed affidavit as to their identity.
Opponents main objection comes over the burden of getting a picture ID. Some said the elderly and poor would struggle to find the necessary documents and resources to get a picture ID from the Department of Motor Vehicles or the local Board of Election. The bill would empower local boards to issure voter registration cards with someone's picture. They also objected over the cost of paying for ID cards for the indigent.
Supporters argue a picture ID is ubiquitous to modern society and does not present a burden to prospective voters. They also say it will give voters more peace of mind that their vote is safe from fraud.

While NAACP President Benjamin Jealous lashed out at new state laws requiring photo ID for voting, an NAACP executive sits in prison, sentenced for carrying out a massive voter fraud scheme.
In a story ignored by the national media, in April a Tunica County, Miss., jury convicted NAACP official Lessadolla Sowers, a Tunica County NAACP Executive Committee member, on 10 counts of fraudulently casting absentee ballots. He received a five-year prison term for each of the 10 counts.
