Looks like the vote fraud deniers and those opposed to common sense voter ID are headed for a big loss in the state election being held in Mississippi today. Initiative 27 would amend the Mississippi constitution to require a person to submit government-issued photo identification in order to vote. On November 6, Public Policy Polling (a Democratic polling company) released a poll of 796 likely voters that shows that 64% were in favor of the amendment; only 29% are opposed and 7% are undecided. So unless something very unexpected happens today, Mississippi will have a photo ID law in place in the 2012 election approved by an overwhelmingly majority of Mississippians – unless the Holder Justice Department sues to stop it.
I have no doubt DOJ will sue. I voted for mayor and city council here on Saturday. We have had voter ID for a few years now. I used to be against extended voting and easy access to absentee ballots, but the voter ID laws seem to be helping. A good purging of voter rolls from time to time is necessary as well.
Here in Mississippi concealed carry permits are issued by the Department of Public Safety. *If* I do get to show ID next fall, I will show my carry permit. It’s not like it’s a big deal, everybody has one. And besides, the ladies who will be checking IDs know who we are and where we live and so on. But still, it could be fun!
I have to agree with Andrew. Do not show your CCP. The whole point of concealed is….oh jeez if I have to explain you wont get it anyway.
