Phil, the legislatures of ILL, NY, CA, ect ect ect would NEVER pass that law which is why it DOES need to be Federal. “Blue” states need to have the Constitution imposed on them against their will.
Agree with Impy. Photo ID to protect against vote fraud should be guaranteed at the federal level. Otherwise we’d end up as a banana Republic, and Impy is correct that “safe” RAT states will never pass photo ID laws on their own accord.
I’ve long been in favor of uniform voting standards for all 50 states. We need to rid of the ridiculous mess of choosing delegates varying widely from state to state, for example.
