Voter Fraud

What is " wrong " with asking everyone to provide a picture ID to vote ? We are a smart nation I'm certain that we can come up with a mobil ID machine. There are codes that can be used to identify what kind of ID it is. Only a picture, or driving, an immigrant not yet a citizen but in this country legal, public assistance only ect...

In order to be done without accusing one party of cheating, sadly theres going to have to be a representative from both parties be present when the picture are taken and signed off on. Thats just the way it is now, no use in complaining. I know that there are enough people on both sides who want to volunteer to help with elections that are willing to represent their party. To oppose some type of a solution only makes it look like you want non citizens to vote.

I know that there are poor people without assistance or home bound where the mobil ID can go to their homes. There are county buses who take people to Drs appointments even disabled people. There can be county buses that can take them for other assistance.. Has anyone without an ID ever been to a Drs appointment, grocery store, bought alcohol, cigarettes or gotten a controlled prescription ? If yes, then it means that getting an ID is possible. Yes it will cost states and counties more money but I personally have NO PROBLEM having my tax money going for something like this. ANYTHING to shut the f××× fighting the hell up.

Voter ID laws have been estimated by the U.S. Government Accountability Office to reduce voter turnout by 2-3 percentage points, translating to tens of thousands of votes lost in a single state.

@ElwoodBlues It won't be harder it will be easier. If you had read my question post. The mobil machine would be going to Drs office, grocery stores, even homes
@missyann Sorry! My mistake!!

How about implementing BOTH solutions - you can apply for voter ID at any Post Office, OR you can request the mobile machine.

@ElwoodBlues Absolutely
@missyann That doesn’t exist where I live. Voting here is very inconvenient compared to other places I’ve lived.

Recent evidence has proven voter IDs do not inhibit voter turnout. If the elderly need help voting then help should be arranged by means other than the elimination of securities against voter fraud.
