That's the whole point of having an ID and making sure it's one man/one vote
I'm so sick of being a person who is required to do everything...and meanwhile I have to listen to people whine and complain about the stupidest shit and claim they just can't do it.
"I can't get an ID"
Oh yeah? Tell that to the cops when they ask you for your ID...those bastards will arrest you.
This is a ridiculous notion that in the year 2013 people are unable to have an ID. Bullshit.

I know it because there have been numerous studies and stats released by the various states and investigative groups showing that cases of actual voter fraud are almost non-existent.
Does this mean that there has never been someone who voted more than once? No. Does this mean that there might be a few people out there who have perpetrated voter fraud? No. But the story being told is that there are legions of illegals who are casting ballots in the elections and there simply is no proof of that happening.
In Florida during the 2012 election there were about 8.4 million votes cast. The republican governor had an investigation done after the fact to see if there were large numbers of illegals voting. They found 1,800 ballots where they questioned whether or not the person was legal. They sent those people letters and are forcing them to show they are citizens or those votes won't count and they won't be allowed to vote in the future. 1,800 out of 8.4 million and those were just suspects. I have no idea how many actually turned out to be cast by illegals.
There is an easy solution to all of this. Do it as they do in my state and a growing number of states. Vote by mail. You get the ballot in the mail, fill it out and mail it back or drop it off in any number of drop spots. This way each person gets one ballot, there is no confusion about what precinct to go to, there are no lines, there is no shortage of voting machines, no voter intimidation. It is clear, easy and simple.
It also encourages voter turnout. My state consistently has over a 60% voter turnout which is about 8% higher than the national average and is always among the states with the highest voter turnout.
Of course many states won't do this because republicans know that the more people who vote the lower their chances of winning.
