(Indianapolis) – Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita, who in his position serves as Indiana’s chief election officer, applauded members of the Indiana Senate Elections Committee after the unanimous passage of two important pieces of legislation.

Secretary Rokita supports Senate Bill 534, which would allow Indiana residents to register to vote online, and Senate Concurrent Resolution 28, which calls for the establishment of a study committee to consider moving Indiana’s presidential primary to be one of the first on the calendar.

My first thought was, this is a bad idea. But they already have a law that you have to show photo ID when you show up to vote. So perhaps it might be all right. I hope.

Sometimes I wonder though, if these guys have a clue about anything, even Republicans.

I’m against it! It’s more chance of major FRAUD.

As it is, we have the Motor Votor Law. (fraud magnet)
Then we’ll have online registration ! fraud magnet)
Then, we have the problem of too much absentee voting. (lots of fraud in absentee voting/counting)

All of these above are major fraud problems.

So, Indiana has a “show your I.D. law”. That is great. But, only if you show up in person. Most voting is done absentee now.

If the vote is not in person, like absentee, you do not have to show an I.D., obviously.

I’m totally against this.
