It sounds like it's common sense... right now some Chinese tourist could very easily vote, as could some 16 year old kid, as could some illegal immigrant who just ran across the border 2 days earlier, etc...
isn't that ridiculous that something like that could happen easily with no fake ids, no hoop jumping at all, etc?

No a Chinese Tourist couldn't vote.. You still have to have a voters ID card and if you don't have one, then you have to vote on a provisional ballet which in a presidential election is not even counted until well after the winner is announced. They then match the names from the provisional ballot to the voters registry. Meaning it would do nothing but drag out the election process.
This whole deal is a non issue as showing a ID will not really solve anything. So if they don't have a ID and they claim they have the right to vote, then guess what.. They still vote on a provisional ballot just like if they didn't have a voter id card.
Meaning showing a ID does absolutely nothing, but create more provisional ballots.
I have no real issue with showing a ID, but a drivers licence doesn't cut it, because it doesn't change anything. The only way to fix anything is have a actual real voter registration ID.
The only way to do that is to create even more government and spend even more money. The only sensible way to do it would be to make a social security/voters ID.
The whole drivers license non sense is just a waste of time and would change nothing, but hey it lets republicans bitch and moan and still not solve anything. Which is pretty much all they ever do.
