Photo ID Needed to Vote

Republicans have been in the forefront of those seeking a requirement for a government photo ID for voting, even as one needs it to fly, or cash a check. Democrats have claimed this is racism in action, because many minorities don't have government IDs.

They further claim voting by those ineligible or multiple voting by the eligible are insignificant risks, in fact things that almost never happen. Suddenly, the nightly news proves them wrong. The Daily Caller reports:

Washington state mall shooting suspect Arcan Cetin could face another investigation related to his voting record and his status as a non-citizen.

Katherine Engelbrecht of the voter watchdog organization True The Vote wrote in a letter to Washington State U.S. Attorney Annette Hayes Sunday that the most recent data from the Washington secretary of state shows that Cetin registered to vote on Sept. 27, 2014, despite his illegal legal permanent resident status.

He later voted “in the 2014 General, 2015 General and 2016 Primary,” the letter said.

“His voter registration at the time of this letter’s submission is still listed as Active, according to public records,” Engelbrecht writes.

You've gotta wonder whether thousand of non-citizens have been voting for years, like this creep did? What are the odds?

Our opinion: Proving citizenship isn't too great a burden.
