Poll: Do you support Voter ID Laws? (politicians, election, elect)

[Oldhag1]

This is a subject I have a pretty strong opinion about. I am curious how many support having these laws verus how many don't. I would love to know why or why not.

Edit: LOL - I misspelled Laws and you can't edit a poll question.

Yes.

I long for it. I think our vote should be protected from identity theft.

[pamelaBeurman]

Of course!

Please explain how not accepting expired government-issued photo ID protects from identity theft.

You need proper ID for just about anything. You should also need to show it to vote.

It's actually a complete no brainer in all it's aspects. What needs to be done is something called enumeration. In a reasonable timeframe before an election enumerators go out door to door and put people on the electors list. Those who get missed can go to the enumeration office and get put on the list. Being on the list gets you a voting slip. The slip states the time and place you are to vote and your name of course. If you don't have a voter slip you can still vote by showing the appropriate ID with your address on it.

Most attempts in the USA to prevent so called voting fraud, which by the way is extremely low dispite what anyone says, are in fact thinly veiled attempts at voter supression. It's historical in the USA. It's been done in one form or another as long as the Republic has existed.
