Sun Journal Letter to the Editor

03-24-11
Finally common sense


The General Assembly of North Carolina under House bill 351 has finally come to its senses with the pending “Restore Confidence in Government” legislation, which will require voters to be identified before voting in North Carolina elections.

We need to restore the integrity and confidence in our election process and this certainly is a fair way to handle the situation. This legislation does not discriminate against voters or suppress citizens from voting. Our children must have photo IDs for school and for admission to an R-rated movie. Adults need a valid ID to cash a check, use credit cards, purchase tobacco or alcohol, and operate a motor vehicle. Every legal resident has a valid driver’s license, military ID, or state issued ID.

If for some reason, a resident does not have a photo ID, he’ll be able to obtain one free of charge from the local election office. Gee, something so simple – finally. Thank you Reps. Lewis, T. Moore and Killian.
