The new congress and administration should pass a national “social Security” card issue in which Americans have until 2014 to get a new (and free) updated social security card, with a security strip, and a photo. It would take the same info to get one as it takes to get, or renew, drivers licenses in most states, I.e. birth certificate, proof of address, etc.
Those not meeting age requirements to receive SS, would lose benefits for non-compliance.
Then, in order to vote, you would have to present these cards.
All eligible would comply to keep their benefits coming, those that are not, don’t vote.
It smacks of a “nationali.d. Card”, but would be a viable workaround for voter I.d. And we might catch some illegals in the process. We already have to present drivers licenses or two forms if ID to do most everything else anyway.
Those who are eligible, and honest, shouldn’t have any problem with such.
With the mass invasion of illegals we have, it may be the only way to separate the wheat from the chaff.
My major reservations with your suggestion are that, given the gooberment we're saddled with, the bill would come in at 5x projections and be a massive national CF.
You think the faux uproar from the vote fraudsters (aka Dhimms) is bad now, float the idea to revamp the entire thing, making it completely waterproof !
