| Kentucky lawmakers override veto of voter ID measure |
| 2020-04-15 |
| h/t Instapundit [PBS] - Republican lawmakers in Kentucky swept aside the Democratic governor’s veto of a bill to require the state’s residents to show a government-issued photo ID in order to vote. Votes to override Gov. Andy Beshear’s veto easily cleared the GOP-led Senate and House as lawmakers reconvened Tuesday for a wrap-up session amid the coronavirus outbreak. The American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky promptly said it will consider filing legal action to try to halt the measure. The measure would require Kentucky residents to produce a photo ID when voting, with limited exceptions, starting with the November election. Depriving dead Americans of their right to vote? |

| #4 In Oklahoma you need a photo ID to buy over-the-counter antihistamines because of meth makers... Cash a check. Buy beer. Color me unimpressed by their rhetoric. |

| #3 These groups don't like the doors being closed on the opportunities for election rigging and voter fraud. That has always been a key plank in the Democrat Party platform. |

| #2 People in the U.S. have to show ID for nearly everything else and there's been little pushback from the Dems and the American Civil Liberties Union. Dems don't mind trying to make you wear some identification about being positive or negative for the coronavirus. The conclusion: These groups don't like the doors being closed on the opportunities for election rigging and voter fraud. |

| #1 Shouldn't be a problem, simply use the same ID you used to cash your CV 'economic bridge' check from Washington. |
