So rather than crack down on the fraud that occurs, you'd rather not open up the process to the most voters possible? By the way, I find it interesting that Jeff Jacoby committed serious fraud himself -- a felony I believe -- in his little cat registration exercise to prove a point. Heroic. I always find it interesting how conservatives want to limit access to voting. dc
I am a conservative. I don't want to limit access to voting, but I don't want to make fraud so tempting an option. I will agree with Derek on one point though. I really don't care if other people vote. Voting is not difficult. If you cannot do it, you should not be doing it. I really don't see any reason to make voting any easier than it already is.
Anonymous (Stephen?): I'm not sure "agree" means what you think it means, in this case.
Seriously, what is wrong with showing an ID when you vote? Isn't that a fairly simple solution to a lot of problems? Am I missing something, or are there lots of voting age American citizens out there with no forms of identification?
