The "traffic jam" on election day caused by Voter ID ??
I could envision how much this would suppress voter turnout, simply by clogging the system. How many people will be attempting to show ID cards and will be told they are not sufficient and they will be looking for other forms of ID as the voters in the line behind them start to steam. This could be a disaster!

1. This traffic jam could be relieved simply by the
implantation of chips from Verisign, Diebold, or some other Orwellian leaning corporation. I'm sure it's been kicked around.

2. i need to find my passport
I know I packed it before I moved, but who knows where it is now. Since it will be my first time voting in MA, I will have to show ID. I'll make sure it's my passport in case there are any shenanigans.

3. Voter ID required in FL.
There is no problem at all, just have ID and voter regustration card in hand and sign record and thats it! Never saw any problems come up, I work at the polls. I do not see a problem with ID's. anyone could rip off or steal a voter registration card. It only protects you, an ID can be made at any motor vehicle registry office, if you do not have driver's license.
