I Forget - Did The Founders Require A Photo ID To Vote?

If so, was it a driver's license?

1. I'm reasonably sure that they did require an ID.

I think you had to show current address and social security card and a utility bill for verification.

2. They required that you be a white property owner

so i don't think you've got anything there..

3. Rich, White, and Male?

Isn't that want they want now?

[stopbush]

7. But did you have to prove it? If so, how?

My guess i that the white property owners in an area knew all the other white property owners by sight, and that no kind of ID was required to vote. The rich guys probably just vouched for each other, most likely, tacitly.

10. They all met at the county seat and voted out in public. No secret votes.

4. You had to be white, own property, and in some states be Christian/Protestant.

Less than 10% of the country was allowed to vote.

5. It's not in the Constitution

therefore, we can safely assume that it wasn't intended. Strangely, teabaggers don't seem to care about this, which is surprising given how mad literal they are about the Constitution.

6. Did The Founders Require A Photo ID

Nah,that's been thoroughly disproven...That particular edict is straight from the bible and as we all know,that takes precedence...

8. What do you think itinerant artists where for....
