Birth certificates might be okay for males, but females often change their names. In my case, I go by "Judy" and a married last name. No way does either of those names match my birth certificate.
What's going to end up happening, I betcha, is that this situation is going to push the National ID card forward to a favorable position for some people. I don't know which is scarier - illegal aliens voting or a National ID card.
What is scary about a national id card?
