Reply #51: I'm glad this was vetoed..

even though it is not the politically "right" move to make. Kansas charges a fee to obtain an official state license, and this law did nothing to correct that, so this law would truly have instituted a poll tax. I have lost my Driver's license before, and the process it took to get a new one was ridiculous. In KS, you need 2 forms of government photo ID, or 2 forms of other-photo ID and another form of ID (utility bill, birth certificate-- they will not take photocopied birth certificates). I have never heard of a single case of voter fraud in this state, and I suspect it was offered up by legislators in the western part of the state. There are many hispanics in Dodge and Garden Cities, and they are not all that welcome here, if you know what I mean. Anyway, kudos to Kathleen, may she be our next US senator from KS (assuming Brownback does not seek reelection in 2010 in order to run for governor).
