Barack Obama votes early in Chicago, asked to show ID

Team Chicago wants to make sure that everything is on the up and up... I wonder how many times Barry will vote, remember - vote early and vote often!

Just a wild guess here, but I'd say he'll vote once.

The first President to cast an absentee ballot? Sometimes the jokes just write themselves.

I want to know where the Liberal outrage is; the POTUS was asked to show ID so he could vote?! Mon Dieu! How can it be that a black man should have to show his ID to vote?! Clearly the intent of this policy is to suppress minorities and prevent them from voting.

There are several situations when voters need to show identification before voting. Usually, ID is required to prove the voter's identity and residency at the address of the registration. Here are the most common situations:

1 Any time a voter uses Early Voting, the voter must present a government-issued photo ID such as a current Illinois driver's license, a current state identification card issued by the Illinois Secretary of State or a current passport. This is a requirement under Illinois law.

What forms of identification can a voter use to prove identity and residency?

A voter needs two forms of ID, at least one of which must show the address of the registration. These may include:

-- A valid and current Illinois driver's license
-- A valid and current state ID issued by the Illinois Secretary of
State
-- A copy of a current and valid photo ID
-- A current utility bill with name and address
-- A current bank statement with name and address
-- A recent government check with name and address
-- A recent paycheck with name and address
-- A recent government document that shows the name and address
-- A current college ID card

Sounds like voter suppression to me. We should just go with the honor system.
