This is a damned if you do or don’t. It might help catch some crooks or illegals.
Banks have been doing thumb prints for years if you were not a customer of theirs when you cash a check.
CCW people, and those who need gov’t clearance for work are required to do it. All Military have a set of fingerprints on file, just another form of ID.
I don’t see it as a big deal, no more than like a Photo ID to vote. Maybe it’s time to do a thumb print for that too. That way we know the dead won’t be voting. Or voting multiple times. Easier to catch the perp doing it.
They can have my fingerprints when they start asking for ID at the Voting Booth and persecuting voting fraud with extreme prejudice!
That is my only non-negotiable position on this!
