At the last committee meeting, Rep. Tindell asked for proof of what Rep. Todd said was a big problem. We'll see what he comes up with. It’s a solution in search of a problem.

Ketron is trying to solve with this bill? What's wrong with the current system of matching the voter's signature to the one the election commission has on file? How many cases of voter fraud have there been that would have been prevented by photo ID? So, what’s the problem Sen. Ketron is trying to solve with this bill?

The point is, if it can happen to a state Senator then it could happen to a lot of other people who, you know, aren't elected officials. Funny as a crutch, Bob.

Joe Haynes (D-Goodlettsville) and Sen. Bill Ketron (R-Murfreesboro) over Ketron’s proposal (SB0150) to limit the right to vote to those with a photo ID. Senator Haynes: Senator Ketron, I know that what you’re doing is well-meaning, and I respect that. But this is something that bothers me greatly because there are people in the world that don’t have driver’s license, don’t have photo ID. There are people in the world who are 65 and older that have a driver’s license without a photo ID on it. There’s a class of peple who are not indigent but yet don’t have a photo ID. And to those people, your bill excludes them from voting in our state. I consider that enough of a problem that I would challenge you..and we do this a lot when we see there are legitimate questions that we have….we try and take public testimony and we try to study it. There’s not another election until next next year. I don’t see what harm would be done if we took some public testimony. And we studied this to try an see what we could do to improve it and work on it and come back next year and try to adopt a system that’s workable. I think you’ve done a good job of trying to patch this up and I respect you for it..but I’m greatly concerned about people that fall in the categories I just described…because what you are doing is either 1) you’re forcing somebody to lie that says in their affidavit of identity that they have a relgiosu objection or that they are indigent and nobody is going to go out and check if they are indiegent there not going to be any system for that - that would be so burdensome that there would be no way to work it out of an election commission office…I’m going to ask you if you would consider putting this in a study committee so we could look at this properly…would you consider that, Senator Ketron?
