Under the requirements of the "Help America Vote Act," passed in the wake of the 2000 presidential election recount debacle, states are now required to implement new standardized voting regulations, which include verifying voter identity, How is this a bad thing? California has been without madatory IDing of voters for years.
That illegals can use drivers licenses to vote is a separate issue - they shouldn't have licenses, period - but requiring ID is a step in the right direction.
It doesn't prove citizenship. It's more worthless RINO 'smoke and mirrors'.
