Quote:I don't know for sure if a concealed carry permit actually does count as a positive ID, but I would guess that the difference is this.  In order to get a concealed carry permit, a background check is required including fingerprints.  Also, the perspective concealed carry permit holder must present positive ID when applying.

 

I'm going to guess that that to obtain a student ID, one must not go through as much of a process including providing positive ID.  I'm not saying that's a fact, that's just a guess.

 

Also, I would bet that the ability to forge a concealed carry permit is FAR harder to do than forge a student ID.

 

With regards to absentee ballots, I think that there should be tight restrictions as far as this goes.  Priority should be given to service members serving over-seas or out of their respective districts.  Next Government Contractors and Government Employees serving out of their respective districts.  The ability and privilege to vote via absentee ballot should not be a "convenience" to anyone wishing to do so.
