kane, in your mother's case...would she be going to the polls to vote on election day? It's sounds as if she isn't able to get around much.
That's the kind of example I was talking about...how many people percentage-wise of legal adult age AND of sound mind and body (physically able and willing to leave a nursing home to go stand in line to vote) are there WITHOUT any kind of ID?
And again...as far as "studies" showing that voter fraud is almost non-existent...how would a "study" be able to ascertain that? That's like saying there was no investor fraud...UNTIL they caught Bernie Madoff and realized he had been doing it all along.
And it's a very, very famous fact that in the city of Chicago...the Democrat Party machine was well known for having dead people vote in droves to keep Mayor Daley in power for decades.
And that was just ONE political machine in ONE city.
I'm not trying to say that voter fraud is running rampant, but since a person has to show ID for everything in life...shouldn't they be required to show ID for their most important civic duty as a citizen?
Take the politics out of it for a second...don't YOU think that a person should show their ID to vote?
And if there is some mitigating circumstance, as in the case of your mom...then that should be taken into account.
