So you need ID to open a bank account, buy a car, get a library book, get a passport, and in California you will need it to buy ammunition, but you don't need it to prove your eligibility to vote? That is just backwards, how do you prevent voter fraud? How exactly does it discriminate?

Lorne Thomas Haven't read the article, but I assume it's too high a bar since you have no national or state, government ID.

Who doesn't have a drivers license? Driving without a license is a crime in all states and in Washington, D.C.

Passport, Military ID, ICE ID, TSA ID, Passport Card, the list goes on and on. What world do you live on, oh ya I forgot, political propaganda and talking point world.

A "national ID card" implies it's something required by law to be obtained by all citizens. All those you listed are either (a) employee IDs or (b) voluntary. Or both.

There you go again with your ignorance. An ID issued by the federal government or one of it's agencies is legal proof of Identification. Such an ID is recognized across boarders with in the US and it's territories as well as being recognized by foreign governments that the US has relations with.

You really have no idea what you're talking about, do you? Not a single one of those qualifies as in-state ID. Voting rules are determined by the state. And foreign nationals can get passports or military IDs.

You are still showing your naiveté because I all ready stated the State ID. Are you pushing for a single National ID along with the National Police Force that is being hinted at?

Good for you, Douglas McMillan​. Lorne likes to embarrass himself publicly. I think he gets off on humiliation.

Hold on Jason ON , you are saying that you are in favor of a national ID to trump all states ID's and the 10th amendment, right?

So, Minnesota would rather people not be able to advance themselves without the officiating organization paying a fee, first? Do libraries have to pay a fee to lend books? Do documentaries put together by universities have to pay a fee first? If I move into the state and give away old college text books, do I have to pay a fee first? http://www.forbes.com/sites/evapereira/2012/10/19/minnesota-bans-free-online-education/
