This would reduce fraud.

Why doesn't Congress pass a law on this?

The GOP should take this up as a bill and put Obama and the Dems on the other side of another 70-30 issue heading into the 2012 elections.

i’ve had to show my photo id the last couple times i voted.

[Snickering Hound]

Not gonna happen.

You realize that you answered your own question, right?

[Joyell]

We don’t have to show ID where we vote, but I’ve always thought it odd that we aren’t asked for it. It would be very easy to vote in the name of someone else here where we live.

Let me fix this for you.

Question - Why doesn't Congress pass a law on this?

Answer - This would reduce fraud.

you have to be a liberal to think being forced to show ID to vote causes someone hardship, but being forced to buy insurance does not.

American voters only have standing in American Idol voting.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

The easy way to solve this is to require the use of a social security number to vote (along with an ID), and to make sure that no number is used more than once each election, and to automatically delete numbers upon death and also to cross check that the person is eligible to vote.

i think its a good idea but most of the fraud is done by postal votes, how do we reduce fraud there?

[MissTed]

I think 100% of Presidential candidates should show their birth certificates too.

So the overwhelming majority of voters know that voter fraud is rampant. This is good news.

Better news would be doing something about it by demanding a remedy.

[EternalVigilance]

Bump.

8 States require photo ID
Florida
Georgia
Hawaii
Idaho
Indiana
Louisiana
Michigan
South Dakota

18 states require ID but not a photo ID

Alabama
Alaska
Arizona
Arkansas
Colorado
Connecticut
Delaware
Kentucky
Missouri
Montana
North Dakota
Ohio
South Carolina
Tennessee
Texas
Utah
Virginia
Washington

So, that leaves 24 states that do not require any types of ID.

And I bet most have the largest liberal deadbeat population.

Gee, CA, NY, IL, MI, OR, and all the East coast states just to name a few.

The rats don’t care what the voters want.

[central_va]

The other 12% couldn’t speak English and were unable to respond to the poll question.

[B4Ranch]

I think you should have to present a paid property tax receipt and picture ID. Only property holder should be allowed to vote.

[HiJinx]

Ping!

They already did, it was called the "Motor Voter Law" championed by Dianne Feinstein. Now anyone can vote if they show up and point to a name in a registration book.
