[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 1867214, member: 18914"] Voter ID laws do not prevent anyone from voting except those who either refuse to follow the law or are ineligible under the law. All of the other arguments are fantasy and grossly exaggerated "worst-case scenarios". I have to show both my voter registration card (free to obtain) and driver's license or other government ID (passport, state issued non-driver ID card - free to indigent or nominal cost to others, military ID) and the list is fairly expansive. I truly do not see the issue unless one posits that there are a significant number of voters who do not possess and will refuse to get any qualifying ID but will make the effort to vote. Is the registration process itself a problem too then? Why not just put ballot boxes on every corner on election day and just pick them up at the end of the day? After all no one will cheat - it isn't a problem. [/QUOTE]
