or do you think this will somehow stop illegals from voting?
Because it WON'T....they already have driver's licenses....or other forms of an id with a pic on it....
Do you think that it will stop people from voting in a dead man's place?
picture id's are a dime a dozen and can be forged easily and no one pays that much attention to them at the polls that do require them AND MOST ALL VOTING in a dead man's place is a coordinated effort from someone from within the system that has gathered the names and addresses of the dead and then uses ABSENTEE VOTING to vote in the dead man's spot.
So, WHAT IS IT that makes you think that having an id at the polls is going to do a damn thing about voter fraud?
So basically this boils down to making everyone in the USA get a new id, a national id card with a chip in it of biometrics of some sort to verify that you are who you say you are in order to satisfy you and i find a national id card with the gvt in control of it unacceptable as Ron Paul had noted in the speech of his that I have posted.
What is it that makes you against taking care of fraud in another manner, like the ones that I have suggested?
Is this all about disenfranchising the poor from voting or is it about stopping fraud, or is it about in the guise of a secure vote, forcing all of us in to a National id card?
Why not just tattoo our own citizenship with a number on our right hand or forhead? or implant a chip in us? That's next imo.

Howdy JD,
I do think having to provide a valid ID in order to vote is a badly needed requirement in our voting procedure. The drivers license is a very bad ID to use since it is already being handed out to illegals and the motor voter act and its poor oversight will make sure that illegals vote.
I am not saying that I have all the answers as to what kind of valid ID would work, but am wondering why so many on the left seem determined to make sure we don't get a way to validate voters.
