hey canndo.. i usually agree with most of what you say, but why do you think requiring id to vote is a bad idea?? just wanted to get your thoughts on it is all..
and you have said how can voter id stop voter fraud, imo, as of right now, i can walk into my election center and tell them i'm joe blow from w. main street in my town and they simply look my name up in the big list of names of registered voters from my town.. what if i were an illegal alien and am not able to vote in elections in this country? wouldn't requiring id stop my from being able to vote under my neighbors name, like i can now?
i've often thought of how simple it would be to walk out of the one room my area is held in and walking into another room and give them a person i know's name and voting for a second time, or possible even a third anf fourth time if i felt like it.. imo, requiring id would stop things like that, no?
btw, i'm still on the fence about how i feel about the id laws..
