is it me, or would this voter fraud mess all be taken care of if you just had to show your dam photo ID when you went to vote? just a thought.

You'd think that requiring identification to vote would be a no-brainer. At least Florida requires photo ID, unless you don't have it, then you have to sign an affidavit.

And absentee ballots should be notarized.

The Democrats would then never win another seat in the House, Senate, or elsewhere.

I'd say photo ID and Social Security number. Then simply see that the same SS number never voted twice. I would think that this would be pretty easy...

Sounds like we have similar ideas. I know my idea would never fly--they'd cry disenfranchisement in a heartbeat.

I'd like to see mail-in registrations, as well as absentee ballots, notarized. Usually, there's a small fee to use a Notary Public, however, they could waive the fee for election-related items.

Here's my next disenfranchising idea...

Require some sort of biometric like a thumbprint with the registration. Then, when people go to vote, their thumb prints would be scanned and checked against a central database that would tell the election worker if the person has already voted in that election.

I know, Big Brother and disenfranchisement. It sure would take care of a lot of voter fraud, though, and it seems like there's a huge problem with it this election season.

I work for a company that is involved in biometrics--and Homeland Security--and have been part of its test program for biometrics. It's already working great. So, yeah, I guess I'm slightly biased towards the biometrics.

Hello,

Your thought was an excellent one. I know why it is not required, so that the Left can steal more elections. Isn't it amazing that the answers to most of life's problems are so simple?

Glad to be here, MOgirl

"if u just had to show ur dam photo ID"

Driver's licenses have photos on them, and

driver's licenses are given to illegal aliens these days,

aren't they? .....just to finish the thought.

That may be how/why a national ID card happens.
