Civitas supports legislation requiring all voters to present a voter photo ID when casting a ballot.
Our most recent poll shows the majority of likely voters support it, too.

I remember watching poll results for Alabama’s special election for the U.S. Senate when something occurred to me: why are only 2% of Montgomery County precincts being reported? All other counties were finished or nearly finished tabulating their votes except for Montgomery. Then an avalanche of votes for Doug Jones came sliding in, ultimately handing this Democrat a victory.
What happened? Well, if we’re to believe the mainstream media, blacks turned out in record number for a special election. Their numbers even exceeded Barack Obama’s 2012 presidential election. Here is what NPR reported about this historic turnout:
Black voters made up 29 percent of the electorate in Alabama's special Senate election, according to exit polling. That percentage is slightly more than the percentage of Black voters in the state who turned out for Barack Obama in 2012. And a full 96 percent of Black voters in Alabama Tuesday supported Jones, including 98 percent of African-American women. "Black women led us to victory. Black women are the backbone of the Democratic party," Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez tweeted Wednesday morning, "and we can't take that for granted. Period."
And we’re expected to believe there were no shenanigans in this “special” election. Hogwash!
Citizens must have faith that their elections are valid and Democratic Party proof. What I mean by that is tamper proof and the best way to ensure the integrity of the ballot is to banish same-day registration and implement voter ID.
We can hear the howling now. North Carolina is putting Voter ID on the ballot as a constitutional amendment. Here is what the editorial board at the Charlotte Observer had to say:
Rep. John Sauls, a Lee County Republican who is a primary sponsor of the constitutional amendment, said, “Our state must not tolerate anyone’s vote being threatened because lawmakers failed to prevent fraud.”
What a sham. For years, Republicans in North Carolina alleged that in-person fraudulent voting is rampant. Then, in April 2017, the state Board of Elections released the results of an extensive, objective audit of the 2016 election. It found that out of almost 4.8 million votes cast, one fraudulent vote probably would have been avoided with a photo voter ID law. One!
If Sauls is worried about lawmakers failing to prevent fraud, he should pay more attention to Russian hacking or mail-in absentee-ballot fraud, both of which pose bigger threats than someone showing up at the polls illegitimately.
Another misguided justification? “Moore emphasized that North Carolinians show IDs for far more trivial matters than participating in elections,” his press release said.
Voting, unlike driving or buying strong narcotic cough medicine, is a constitutional right. The others are privileges. Americans should not have to jump through artificial – and for a small number of people, substantial – hoops to exercise their constitutional rights.
Russian hacking? Really? Oh yeah, I’m sure those pesky Russians are working night and day determining which party controls North Carolina's General Assembly. What a bunch of maroons.
Voting isn’t a constitutional right. People have to meet certain qualifications to vote. Voting privileges can be taken away from a citizen; a constitutional right cannot. This is the kind of stupidity we have to deal with in the mainstream media.
If North Carolinians pass a constitutional amendment for voter ID, you can damn well bet libtard organizations will find a judge to rule this measure unconstitutional. Liberals say they believe in democracy, but only the kind they approve.
