National Voter ID Will Be Sign The Republicans Are Done With Elections
Why rig the election state by state when you can do the entire country in one fell swoop?
Oregon just announced that its "opt out" automatic voter registration system significantly boosted voter turnout in an election that saw below average voting most everywhere else. Coincidentally, Hillary Clinton walloped Donald in Oregon by 10 points. It's a political law that higher voter participation is bad for Republicans. This is the specific purpose behind the wave of Voter ID laws that just happen to target Democratic voters the most. But even with their systemic voter suppression, Republicans still just barely squeaked out an Electoral College win against Clinton. And that was also with Russia, Wikipedia, the FBI and the "liberal" press doing everything they could to make her lose. Republicans know this. Less than 100,000 votes in the other direction and we would be talking about how the changing demographics of the country have doomed the Republican Party. Instead, we're supposed to be talking about how the Democrats need to reject minorities and cater to white people again. But nothing has changed. The Electoral College map is still the same and the demographics are still shifting rapidly away from the Republicans. In less than 20 years, most of the reliably conservative (and white) Baby Boomers will be dead, replaced by the far more diverse and far less intolerant Millennials. Republicans know this. http://thedailybanter.com/2016/12/national-voter-id/

1. It's up to the States. I don't think a National Voter ID would be Constitutional

...Constitutionality will take on a whole new coloration.

5. All they need to do is use your Social Security number.
Nothing unconstitutional about that.
