I have lived in three different states and was always issued a Voter ID card which named my congressional and state legislative districts as well as voting precinct. It proves that you are registered. The cards are reissued for each election. Why is it so difficult to require showing a voter ID card when attending these town halls? It ensures that the folks in that district are able to interact with their elected representative and it cuts down on all this nonsense.

You should be required to show the ID card when you vote too, but that's another matter.

I have no idea where my voter registration card is. :-) All they have to do is check the name on a driver's license against voter rolls.

Back in the day when there was no such thing as a photo ID, we were required in my state to have our voter registration card in order to vote. That was when the Dems had control of both legislative bodies and the governorship.

At least now they require a government issued photo ID. You no longer have to have the registration card with you. I always carry mine.

Remember when all males had to carry a Draft Registration Card? Funny how no man would be caught dead without it. Now the Dems don’t want to require a photo ID to vote, yet they were in control of national politics when the Draft Card laws were in effect.

The real problem is that Socialist have taken over the old Dem party and want control of the nation, in order to destroy our Republic.
