So you agree that voter ID laws are really about something other than identity theft?

I've always used my photo ID to vote, not the photoless "ID" card PA has been handing out since before the GOP took control

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.
I don't know how it works in other states, but in NH you go to town hall and show your ID no less than 6 months before the first time you register as a resident.

From that day on unless you move you are registered to vote, and are asked for ID the day the vote takes place. No ID unless someone working there knows you, no vote.

In my small town everyone knows everyone else.

Yes but they really need to go back to paper ballots and polling places and the vote counting process needs to be very closely watched...

Any kind of voter fraud should be a felony with a mandatory 20 yr sentence...

They should actually have to do something productive with their time too, Id suggest all the crooks from Chicago spend their time reloading all this ammo big gov keeps buying new to save tax payer $$$...

How much voter fraud is there exactly and has it changed any elections. Do you know if that's happened?

No vote period..... Any reasonable person would get it renewed. Just like any driver who drives.. No lic no drive. This is not a trick question......

If a person can't prove they are legal to vote and they are legal to vote it's just to bad.

No ID no vote.... Don't waste your time or mine as i read the thread which was over 25 pages of excuses.

I don't care if your DEAD can't vote, you dog or cat can't vote I just don't care.

Yes, but the ID required to vote should be provided by the government at no cost. Otherwise, it's essentially a poll tax.

I dont trust these computer machines they had near Chicago, and I was never once asked for Id when I lived there...

Chicago is famous for this kind of thing...
