| Comment : | It seems to me much more important to have a paper trail on the vote than a paper trail of the voters. I still have not seen proof that there were voters committing fraud on election day, but there are credible allegations that there were voting machines committing fraud on election day which is deeply disturbing. If we are going to require that voters have picture ID then we have to institute a massive operation by which voters get an ID when they register to vote so that all voters will have one and not be disenfranchised by the necessity to PURCHASE such an ID in order to vote. Without a free and freely, easily distributed national ID for all voters, it will just be another Poll Tax which was illegal and served to disenfranchise people rather than empower them to be contributing voters in our republic. | |
