Plus, since no one ever checks to see if a voter is registered to vote in multiple states/districts/etc., someone can register to vote for their friend who is ineligible.
I'm not quite sure I understood that, you seem to be saying that a felon would register to vote for their friend, why wouldn't their friend vote for himself, why would he need a felon to vote for him?
Really a stupid argument...the value of one stolen vote isn`t worth all that effort and risk, but if no one is checking IDs, there is no cost and extremely little risk.

The ineligible voter walks in, casts a ballot under their friend's name and no one knows about it except the two of them.
This would work for felons in areas where they are not permitted to vote, illegal immigrants and others similarly situated.
Even if the serial registerer were discovered, they could simply claim to not know who voted in their place.
And if they had a fake ID with their friends name on it, then it would bring no big deal, or better yet, they can just do a mail in vote for their friend and save them time and the need for a fake ID.
You are really reaching with your arguments just to justify a few weeks good law. I get it, you want to feel good and pretend like your photo ID matters.
It's actually more complicated than that. Just providing that info isn't enough. Financial institutions actually have to verify the info that was given.
I don't think you even read that, if you had you might have noticed a few things:
1) Documentation is not required for an existing customer as long as the bank has a reasonable belief that it knows the customer’s true identity
2) the section titled: Verification Through Nondocumentary Methods. Which discusses the means by which a person can prove their identity without documentary evidence.
My great aunt lived in the same house in California for most of her life, she died last year at 101. She never drove, she took buses or cabs everywhere she went. She banked with the same bank for 70 years, because of the length of her relationship with that bank she never was asked to 'prove who she was'. She had a social security card but no photo ID. She got by just fine and since we are talking about California she was able to vote (and she always did)

well,since those laws were part of the patriot act, which came about in 2001...and your aunt was already a customer, it wouldn't apply as she wasn't opening a new account.
he did read it, and he also read the fed register paid 642 I sent him.

I know what they were part of, I was responding to the post quoted below. I don't see anything in it that states that existing customers are exempt,or that there is a mechanism in place for providing non documentary proof of evidence, so I clarified that for him.

Completely untrue story well debunked over the years...
Neither ACORN nor its employees have been found guilty of, or even charged with, casting fraudulent votes. What a McCain-Palin Web ad calls "voter fraud" is actually voter registration fraud. Several ACORN canvassers have been found guilty of faking registration forms and others are being investigated. But the evidence that has surfaced so far shows they faked forms to get paid for work they didn’t do, not to stuff ballot boxes.
Please tell me who you DONT want at the voting booth. Just let those people know that you want them to stay home. Problem solved.
Illegals. 30 million is a substantial number.
