As long as an ID is provided free of charge and acquiring one is easy, I have no problem with requiring proof of one's identity and place of residence. The problem is making them pay for it. That is, in effect,a poll tax. Poll taxes were declared to be unconstitutional in 1966.

 

Do I get to ask a question now?

 

I'll take the silence as a yes. I have more than one.

 

Why do "conservatives" insist on tightening up perceived loopholes in voter registration in the absence of evidence of voting fraud? What are they afraid of? Aren't they the first to holler when government dollars are spent unnecessarily?

 

Why is voter registration and voting so restricted in the first place? This article has some great ideas using existing technology and data.
