HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 4 |
|
RECOGNIZING THAT THE MEMBERS OF THE DELAWARE FEDERATION OF REPUBLICAN WOMEN ARE URGING THE PASSAGE OF LEGISLATION THAT REQUIRES VOTERS TO SHOW GOVERNMENT-ISSUED PHOTO IDENTIFICATION BEFORE VOTING. |
WHEREAS, most states do not require photo identification to vote, yet photo identification is required in the course of normal business transactions such as renting videos, cashing a check, or passing through airport security; and
WHEREAS, the fairness of our system of electing government officials via "one person, one vote" is being threatened via the concept of "cumulative voting"; and
WHEREAS, to protect every legal vote, the integrity of our electoral system must be restored; and
WHEREAS, as a result of their November 6, 2010 convention, the members of the Delaware Federation of Republican Women are urging passage of legislation that requires voters to show government-issued photo identification at the polls before being allowed to cast a ballot;
NOW, THEREFORE:
BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the 146th General Assembly of the State of Delaware, the Senate concurring therein, that the members of the General Assembly hereby recognize that the members of the Delaware Federation of Republican Women are urging the passage of legislation that requires voters to show government-issued photo identification at the polls before being allowed to cast a ballot.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent via electronic mail (e-mail) to the Delaware State Election Commissioner, each county Election Commissioner, the leader of each of Delaware's two majority political parties, the leadership of the 146th General Assembly, and the Adjutant General of the State of Delaware.
