Welcome to Chicagorado

In day with heightened concern over ID theft, voter cynicism and ACORN activism the democrats in the Colorado House believe that a utility statement and a pay stub are acceptable forms of identification for voting purposes. My bill that would have eliminated these archaic forms of ID for voting purposes was defeated this week in the House Veteran and Military Affairs Committee along a party line vote.

At a time when states are moving toward photo ID for voting, democrats in Colorado continue to bury their heads in the sand. The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the validity of requiring photo ID and those states have actually reported a higher level of voter engagement since the passage of the laws.

The Secretary of State confirms the investigation of cases where people have voted more than once in an election. The reality is that the current forms of ID make it easier to vote more than once, but just under different names, which is even harder to detect. The refusal of democrats to update the current forms of ID for voting purposes with the concerns of citizens today, casts an error of suspicion. Perhaps they are vying for taking the lead in the highest number of deceased voters still active in the process.

One does not need to move to Chicago to stay active in politics after you die, Colorado dems are ensuring that right here in the mile high state. Perhaps the State Affairs Committee is better named the ACORN Affairs Committee when it comes to this issue.
