Do you think some sort of ID should be required when
you vote? The reason I'm asking is because, Democrats
challenged this law in Ohio and won, ironically just
before this election. I don't understand why it's so
difficult for a registered voter to provide some sort
of ID, be it a driver's license, picture ID card, a
recent bill in your name, all of which would have been
acceptable, whatever. It's not a "hardship", as the
Democratic party wants to claim, to provide ID. IMO,
it prevents voter fraud, which is not uncommon, again IMO.

I fail to see the big deal that this issue has become myownself,
Marsha. An ID or bill in one's name just isn't that hard to produce.
The word I keep seeing in print is "intimidating", but I fail to see
that asking for ID is an intimidating gesture. An underaged kid trying
to buy alcohol might feel intimidated by a request for ID, but that's
different, IMhO.
