Opinion: Voter ID Laws Protect Integrity of Ballot Box

Americans treasure their constitutional rights and perhaps the most essential one - the right to cast your vote and to have it count - is gradually being eroded. There is a movement underway to convince the public that requiring someone to prove his or her identity in order to vote constitutes "suppression." Yes, that's the argument that Governor Beverly Perdue gave when she vetoed the photo ID law (HB 351) enacted by North Carolina's legislature.

Eight months later, Al Franken was declared the winner of the recount with a margin of 312 votes. A few months after that, Obamacare passed the U.S. Senate on a straight party-line, filibuster-proof 60 votes....Elections matter. I have no desire to re-litigate the 2008 election, but elections matter.
