If the states are currently not requiring voters to display a drivers license that does not possess the attributes outlined in this bill, why would they require voters to show the newer IDs?
Simply requiring voters to show a drivers license or some other state-issued ID card would reduce voter fraud much more than adding more secure information to existing IDs that they don't ask for.
They could add DNA info and retina scans to an ID and it won't do anything to curtail voter fraud if no one is required to show it at the polls.
You are right, and I do not know if this resolution addresses the issue of requiring ID to be presented when voting.
Even if it does not, I do not think there is validity to the argument that the legislation is unconstitutional.
And I support it because I believe it will make identification more reliable which is a good preventative measure against crime.
As far as voting, I think we need a federal law that requires voters to EITHER present a photo ID meeting federal standards OR be fingerprinted when voting. The law should also provide for federal criminal penalties for voter fraud with a system in place to investigate it. This will prevent voters from being disenfranchised by not being allowed to vote or by having their vote diluted by unauthorized voting.
