I have a simple solution (unfortunately, the Dems don't want this problem solved):

1. Require ID to vote in any federal election.

2. As part of the process, photograph voters as they sign in.

With these two simple measures, we would have a better chance to identify fraudulent voters before they get their hands on a ballot, and we would have a better chance of prosecuting the criminals who vote or attempt to vote for dead people. How much would it inconvenience the real voters? Not at all. And the cost? Almost no time - perhaps even a savings since poll workers would read names off the ID instead of trying to find names based on a guess at the spelling - and almost no money for a webcam photo of each voter in line. I'd love to see it happen.

Could not agree more with the webcam photo of every voter. Having just traveled to Canada, I was photographed by TSA besides showing my passport.

The silent majority needs to start raising some righteous hell!!!!!
