Without some kind of national identification,
one could obtain cards from multiple states.
The national identification is what stops someone
from voting an absentee ballot in New York
and then showing up at a poll in person in Florida.
All you need do is have Florida and New York cross check the ID used to apply for voter cards. (All done electroniclly of course).
If I apply for a Driver's license in Colorado, I have to surrender my New York License. Same could be true for voter cards.
Actually.....the voter fraud legal PENALTY is what would convince people to NOT commit voter fraud. All lawmakers have to do is make it financially (and otherwise) inconvenient to commit voter fraud.....as such criminals would find themselves in prison (and not a federal prison as Martha Stewart's cellmate) and paying for their crime....just like REAL criminals!
The question is, why hasn't Bush acted on this? In four years he has done next to nothing, as far as I can see.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
