It disenfranchises a segment of the population--those who object to having their picture taken for religious reasons, those who are suspicious of the government watching over them and who they vote for, minorities, and the elderly population.<BR/><BR/>Sure, there are ways to get an ID without having to drive--an ID from a discount store, from work, or from the state, but again, if you are in a segment of the population who are suspicious or who do not have access to those places, it leaves them unable to then vote.<BR/><BR/>As far as going to polling places and voting Matt, they require a signature and a polling person is supposed to do due dilligence in making sure the signature matches. And usually those poll workers know their neighbors. Although there has been a sharp increase in registering voters, and hopefully they vote, I have faith in that process.Lady Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13428096414178188141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4181152076682017239.post-76971222815889141282009-03-04T23:30:00.000-05:002009-03-04T23:30:00.000-05:00"I could show up at various polling sites on Elect..."I could show up at various polling sites on Election Day and vote under someone elses name."<BR/><BR/>But being on the committee it that not your duty?
