We live in a country where people show ID all day long, especially when entering any government building. Surely a polling place should be given the same amount of respect, by scrutinizing all who enter for the purpose of deciding the future of the country. (And what a jobs program, the introduction uniformed guards at the entrance of every government building has been!)

On a related note about ID cards:
One argument against a National ID card is that a Free People should not have to prove who we are. That idealistic outlook just cannot be supported in our 21st century reality. We do not have villages where everyone recognizes a stranger as a stranger. We live in a world of instant electronic communication and where air travel moves thousands of people around the world every day.

Making sure that only people who are legally able to vote ought to have as much if not more scrutiny as security checks on those getting into the WH for official business.

It’s the destiny of this country that gets decided on election day...and that should be treated...and guarded like the national treasure I believe that it is.

As far as the whole national ID card thing...IMHO we already have it...open your wallet and check it out...it’s your Social Scurity card.

I have to show my picture ID at every election, local, state, or national.
The picture must match my mug, and the address has to be current. Any variation
and you have to come back with correct proof of residence or you can’t vote.

And that’s in Florida, but were on the west side of the map.
