Mr. Hodja
I completely agree with you. I personally have no problem with the requirement of a picture ID requirement to vote as long as getting the ID is simple, free and universally available to all those legally qualified to vote with special provisions for those too old, too feeble, lacking transport etc.

Still, there is one question regarding picture ID's that I have never had answered to my satisfaction...If you are able to obtain a picture ID by presenting non-picture evidence, then why can't that same evidence be presented at the polling place? Does there always have to be a middle-man? If there really is all this "fraud" around voting, are we not in danger of merely shifting the physical place where the "fraud" first occurs from the polling station to the DMV.

Voter fraud can happen in places other than the voting booth...especially in the obtaining of absentee ballots which in GA and most states still does not require a picture ID or any evidence that the vote being counted was actually cast by the person who obtained the ballot.

To make it completely fair with the same hassle factor nationwide for everybody, how about a national Voter Photo ID Card to be used and accepted only for voting. Make everybody get one before the 2012 General Election from the corporate CEO to Cobb County home schooler moms to members of Congress to entertainment and sports figures to the 95 year old blind grandma. I would gladly comply and bet MM and WW would be too!
