Bad Voting Machines = Need For Voter ID

This was an interesting exchange on Bill Maher last night:

So because companies like Diebold create very unsecure machines that means the voter must be put through the ringer and provide ID - that according to Tony Snow.

Here's something that isn't talked about enough on Voter ID - a poll tax. Most states require a fee for a state issued ID or drivers license. Since this is required to vote that means we have to pay to vote. Also considering the new requirements they are putting in requiring citizens to have these IDs no matter what then it can also be considered a tax. Looks like the Republicans are the party of increasing your taxes - in the form of required government bullshit.
