Voters having to show ID will definitely cut into the fraud perpetrated by some groups.

This should be a requirement to be a citizen - show your valid, legitimate ID, you can vote.

What level of proof to vote is enough for those opposed to this?

Should a person be forced to register ahead of time?

Should a person be forced to prove they are eligible to vote?

Same reasons apply.
What about people who own two homes? Lots of that going on in the Colorado mountains. I repeat, for those who didn't get it from numerous other posts, NO ONE is recommending that anyone be able to vote twice in the same election. This is an issue of where to vote.

So even if people are permanent residents, they couldn't vote if they were college students if their parents did not live there.

That's a great way to champion "Freedom"!

In states, parties clash over voting laws that call for IDs, limits on where college students can cast ballots

.............. and the democrats want everyone (including the dead) to vote and vote often- commonly in the same election.

Finally there are some rules being enforced to prevent the widespread democratic voter fraud and the libs are upset. They are so often used to voter fraud on demand that the concept of "one man- one vote" is infuriating.

So the reasoning given by DC aren't applicable to the discussion.

It seems this is up to the individual state to decide,states have different ways of deciding if you are eligible to vote in that state.

Can't really see the issue here....

No, didn't live elsewhere. My parents lived elsewhere. My parents lived in Arkansas. While I was in college, I lived in Minnesota. I spent Christmas in Arkansas. I didn't work there. I didn't go to school there. I didn't pay taxes there.

I'm not following you here. There was nothing DC said that I disagree with.

Yes Kat, but you bring up a very good issue

how does one determine where they should vote,..what if you have two homes (even within the same state) should you be allowed to vote this year for the Nassau county controller, and next year for the Suffolk county controller because thay are on different years??? or if different states should I be allowed to vote in 2010 on my new york house for new york govenor, and then turn around and vote in 2011 for a CO governor based on my co home, then in 2012 vote back in new york because the senator is running

the answer SHOULD be no..it should be based on a PRIMARY residence



there has to be a STANDARD

So you were a resident of Minnesota then....so would only vote there.
