Republicans make it clear. BEFORE I VOTE: They don't trust me to be honest when I vote. They want a detailed state issued photograph ID stating "WHO I AM". Though on almost any state and federal document a signature is good enough (it was good enough when they took my income tax) when I vote they NEED a written record not only who I am, but what I generally look like. Ironically a birth certificate isn't even good enough. Even though no one has shown simple cheap programs like signatures aren't enough enough to prevent wide spread voter fraud by individual voters, the party all concerned about "cost" wants to add financial burden of voting on me in the form of getting a state issued photo ID. Why, they don't trust me.
But AFTER I VOTE: They have amazing amount of trust. While liberals have had a lot of concern about having actual physical three dimensional ballots that exist in the world and can be counted, recounted, chad inspected, and late night jokes written about, well Republicans not that concerned. It's "cheaper" to just trust us on those computer counters. So away goes any written record. Just a computer. A computer who's files apparently can be stuck on your home computer, counted by a single likely biased person, forgotten about, taken home, erased?, and suddenly appear days after 1 candidate narrow loss. Is there a paper trail? A physical ballot left that we the people can recount? Or do I just trust that Government cause you know "it's cheaper".
This is from the party that tells me time and again "I should trust me and real Americans, but not that stinking Government." 'Cept when I vote. Then I should be suspicious that every other person voting with me is a double voting fink, but that same government is 100 % trustworthy. AMAZING.
