I'm not in Arizona but I was pleasantly surprised voting yesterday --- for the first time it was required to have the voting card and also show a drivers license or other picture ID. I don't see how requiring one to be a citizen could be considered going too far --- Mexicans even have that back home.

Which is basically what my 18-year-old new voter said. "Dad, if you don't want to show ID - what are you trying to hide?"
Same here in Tennessee - the procedure was as strict as it should be (they even compare signatures and have you rewrite it if you're sloppy). Of course, I'm especially thrilled that the Driver's Certificate program already put a stop to automatic registration of illegals here. I saw no one who appeared to need a translator anywhere where I voted (in the middle of the Nashville's Hispanic colony).
Democrats, though, are already moving beyond the personal verification issue by claiming that the Diebold voting machines were all rigged for Bush. Seems we have a bunch of bitter puppies who'd insist pooh was Alpo after having their very snouts thrust in it. Bad puppies, bad! (whap, whap)
