Note that this isn't a proposal for a "voter card". Instead, the picture of the voter would be in the precinct book.

I live in PA. Our left-wing State Supreme Court has declared that voter ID’s violate the State Constitution.

What national proposal is going to address THAT?

[SMGFan]

would the quality of the black & white photos put together by the county board of elections vary by states and county?

I recall an ex girlfriend who had a voter id. It was issued by her state and had her thumb print on it. It presumably also had a picture on it - I don’t recall. She claimed it was strictly to be used for voting and nothing else. Her state was Sonora.

Well I feel the same about Taxes. The main argument against imposing Taxes is requirement about the cost and difficulty getting the Money to pay.

Excellent ideas you have there.

But Joe Biden said voter suppression is racist...

So your logical and sensible ideas will be thrown out by a liberal judge somewhere.

The up front costs would be substantial for new equipment and training, with maintenance an extra and recurring administrative charge. This would fall on already strained local elections budgets. Most elections offices would oppose it as costly and unnecessary, while it would not address absentee ballot and vote by mail fraud.

Yet none of these points are fatal and the logic of the proposal is a strong point in its favor.

Democrats will scream “voter suppression” on any attempt to combat vote fraud.

We could give poll watchers the right to take pictures of voters, to see if the same people show up at different polls, but they would scream “voter intimidation!” on that too.

What do you do about the 40% of people who vote early via mail-in ballot?
