The dems have been bad mouthing it. Could it be that they fear it would weed out illegal democratic voters? Actually where I am, it doesn't matter much. I know the poll workers, and they know me. It is small town America up here. But, having the ability to ask for a photo ID from people they don't recognize, does tighten things up. And everybody has a driver's license in America. And they all have photo's on them now. I don't believe all the sob talk about what a terrible burden it is to obtain a photo ID, every one has a driver's license. Otherwise how do they get to work?
Actually, if we want to tighten things up, we need to get rid of "same day registration". Serious voters can jolly well get down to town hall before the election and register. If they cannot be bothered, then they are not serious voters. Who wants to allow clowns to vote? And to register in New Hampshire, you better show a New Hampshire driver's license. Out of state license means you ain't a New Hampshire resident, and therefore you ain't eligible to vote in New Hampshire. Same goes for out of state plates on your car.
Registered voters names appear on the printed voter list used by the poll workers to check off voters as they vote and prevent double voting. If the name ain't on the voter list, you don't get a ballot, no matter how much photo ID you have.
I'm not sure how absentee ballots are checked, but at a minimum the absentee voter's name MUST appear on a registered voters list.
