McIntyre voted for tougher ID requirements for citizens who fly than for voters.

Posted on March 21, 2008

Rep. Mike McIntyre (D NC7) voted to impose on the states and the citizens the requirements of the Real ID act (Roll Call 2006-459) which in May will deny citizens from some states the ability to board domestic airliners by showing their state drivers license. He also voted not to require anyone to show photo ID in order to vote (Roll Call 2005-031).

There are some who say that the sanctity of our voting process and thereby the integrity of our elections is more important even than the safety of our air travel.

At the very least voting should be as important as air travel. Why does McIntyre feel showing a more secure ID is proper for flying but not for voting? Does he know something we do not? Perhaps there are people he wants voting that should not be voting? Does he condone voter fraud? Certainly that cannot be true – perhaps he will tell us.
