There are verified cases, and convictions. They are easy to find.
OK, Find them. Find just one verified case of voter fraud that would have been prevented with voter ID.
I think it's safe to say that there are in all likelihood cases of voter fraud committed through absentee voting. Let me ask again, since there are "VERIFIED" cases and "CONVICTIONS" of voter fraud through absentee voting, why haven't these same Republican led legislatures passed legislation to stop absentee voting?

There is no evidence that "in all likelihood cases of voter fraud committed through absentee voting"...this is just your opinion.
Google ACORN and voter fraud convictions. That should satisfy you.
Why are you so opposed to citizens proving they are who they say they are in addition to being eligible to vote?
Agreed. However, how much effort do you think we should spend trying to find it?

Who is "they"?

What's next, dogs can't vote?
I'm sure you have a lot of experience with being homeless. And the point is: why should you have to PAY to vote?

Well, here....I suggest that for 1 month you decide to NOT have internet and buy your official copy.
State Name: Pennsylvania
Average Processing Times in Business Days:
Express 8-10 days, Emergency 6-7 days or Regular 40-50 days
State Fees:
Regular Processing $20
Express & Emergency Processing $38
Express & Emergency Processing include overnight shipping (trackable) once issued. Regular Processing is shipped US Mail (not trackable).
Additional Requirements for online orders:
Shipping address must match credit card billing address as well as the address on the state issued identification card or drivers license. The credit card MUST be in the certificate holders name, mother or father's name ONLY. V- code required for credit card.
(From your link)
Note for regular processing, you really have to plan ahead! Knowing Pennsylvania as I do, 60 days would be within the realm of "40-50".

there are political reasons to do it now. back then they had no political reason to do it, which is why they didnt.
amazed at the sheep believing are "trusted politicians" just want to look out for us.
There was no political reason back in the 60s, when Kennedy was accused of having "stolen" the election from Nixon?

To tell you the truth, I am rarely asked for ID. Once in a while, someone wants to see it with a credit card, and once in a while at the bank, if I'm taking out money.

Whats stupid is your telling everyone that you work but $17 is out of your range to buy?
The point is you shouldn't have to pay $17 to vote!

My party has nothing to do with it.
The fact is, there have been many issues with voter fraud in certain districts.
Don't you want that stopped?
Please provide an example of "many issues".

We should need a photo id, and I'd also like to see LESS absentee voting allowed. It is a disaster waiting to happen.
Who do we deny the right to vote?
Service members overseas or at sea?
All citizens return to the country for 1 day?
Absentee ballots need not be a danger. The day of electronic voting is here. We can require ballots to be filed 2 weeks earlier. When ballots are collected that name is now not allowed to vote again. Open the ballots at the normal time.
