I absolutely believe that a valid photo ID should be shown before voting. I don't even have a problem with purple ink on the finger.
I further belief that anyone who is found guilty of voter fraud should be subject to the same penalties as those who commit treason. The effect on the country is potentially the same.
But you offer a straw man when none is needed.
If I am being searched prior to boarding an aircraft and found not to be a threat, what difference does it make to anyone what my name is?

Can't get a ticket without a name. You are elimiated from the list of known people by process of elimination and somebody might need to know if you were on the plane if it goes down.
