Don't know what the Governor was thinking on this one. Seems like a no-brainer to me. You need ID to drive a car, cash a check, go to the doctor, attend Democrat conventions and many other things in everyday life. Needing ID to vote doesn't seem like to much to ask. Don't agree with the Gov on this one but he is still light years better than BAN-holm. 

I need an ID to cash a check or withdraw money. Unless they think voting isn't important.

Voter I.D. requirement is not a problem and should be enacted in "every" state. ......................... http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/07/16/Florida-Poll-82-support-Photo-ID-laws-54-Favor-Purging-Non-Citizens-From-Voter-Rolls

According to this site Gov. Snyder did sign this bill. That makes sense. I heard otherwise on news radio.
