Yes, simple solution. Mine as well.

Most fraud could be stopped by asking for a photo ID and matching picture and signature. Racist I guess. Besides, if credit card companies asked for it, then hard to deny it at the polling place.

I've never seen fraud prevented by asking for ID. I have seen quite a lot of fraud prevented by asking for the card and typing in the last four digits on the card. Fake IDs are easier to come by than fake credit cards impressed with the proper credit card number.

Just suggesting a photo id is racist. I’m reporting you.

I always write on the back of my card to ask for ID. I never sign them.

The card companies actually have rules against doing that. And for good reason: using plastic is supposed to be more convenient, not less convenient. It's all about the bottom line, and fraud losses with the current, imperfect system run in the single-digit basis point range.
