My state will issue a free state voter ID for registered voters who do not have a valid ID. One can also cast an absentee ballot if you are 60 or disabled and if you can not afford a certified birth certificate you can sign a form stating you are indigent and can not obtain such forms.
These issues are fairly easily solved. Like you stated, sign a form or whatever. We need to have some control over who votes. This stuff should be fairly obvious to people. Some people for whatever reason seem to be hell bent on loosening the standards in terms of voting. I can't imagine anything but nefarious reasons, really, if we're to stand back and really take a look at things.
I'm to the point that people should be required to vote in person with valid ID and on paper ballots, nothing that can be hacked or manipulated like electronic voting can possibly be.
I understand that older people with poor health and infirmed we can see about making exceptions, but the vast majority we shouldn't have to.
Some real asinine arguments here in this thread, just like I posted earlier, my co-worker comes up with the most inane reason to not have to have an ID to vote.
When getting a hotel room or picking up a prescription requires more verification than voting, we've got some priorities wrong here.
I've never been asked for ID when picking up a prescription. I've picked up prescriptions for other people, and had other people pick up mine.
Actually it is...Technically, Govt cannot FORCE anyone to purchase ANYTHING, as it relates to exercising one of their rights, and in this case, that would be voting.
It's not. Liberals just don't like the idea of verifying voter ID because they can't win without their fictitious, non-existence voters. Liberals cheat to win.
It's suppression because many poor people do not have the means to pay for an ID, or to stand in line for hours at the BMV to get an ID.

I have, and do. Also have to show an ID when I check in for an MD appointment. Hell, I even have to show my ID when I board my dog. You have to show an ID and sign a log book to enter a public school, as well. ID needed for a lot of things... rent an apartment, buy land and/or a house, apply for public assistance benefits, etc.

Gee, I wonder why and how it ever got to this point in the first place?! LOL
