You can't take the right to vote for people who make the choice not to have an id which isn't an illegal choice to make . You might as well just pass a national id card law which makes it illegal for people not to own one then

Years ago, my dad asked me to go vote for him. I refused not only out of legal fear, but out of general principle.

I can understand the objections to requiring someone to pay something to vote, but at the same time, I believe people should be obligated to positively affirm they are who they say they are. For example, In Michigan, we have a voter ID law, but you can also sign an affidavit at the poll site.

Is this be a problem?

...Papers, please should not expand here from Nazi Germany.

If you had signage in the polling place that says by signing the registration book you are affirming that you are the person in the book whose name your signing next to and your legally able to vote I guess I don't see a problem with that but I doubt the people pushing most of the voter id laws would be satisfied with that

I don't think it costs much. Without one a person lives in the cultural shadows.

Not to mention you have to miss a day of work to go down to the dmv most likely on the bus for quite a few people. I am all for making it easier and cheaper for people to get ids if they want them. Everyone in America who wants an id should be able to get one but that is a separate issue to voting and who gets to vote and who doesn't because laws are passed to stop them

The best way to address their concern might be a mandatory national ID card. Holders of that ID card would be automatically registered and legal in their home district.

They would certainly sleep better at night knowing that cats, illegal aliens and dead people were not wandering into polling places and casting votes for Democrats.

They keep hyperventilating about supposed voter fraud and we could solve the "problem" pretty easily with a free, standardized, national ID card.

came up, I have had no difficulty getting along and participating in life without a picture ID. The first person that questions if I am over 18 will get a kiss.
