There are folks that don’t want voter ID requirements. It is easy to understand why they don’t. Naturally the question always comes up, "Does voter ID prevent voter fraud or does it prevent some people from voting?" The answer is yes.
We now have voter ID in the Lone Star State and I haven’t had any problems because of it. Except that the people at the polling place laugh when they see my picture on my drivers license. Yes, the requirement is being challenged again and it will take months before anything is changed, if at all.
If I were running the elections I would support Dr. Ben Carson who suggests that candidates names not have which party they represent by them. No D or R or L or I. Then, I would require that each person pass a simple test before voting. It would be simple multiple choice asking the potential voter to pick out, from a list, those persons running for a particular office. Then I might throw in a few questions from the Constitution, like what is the first amendment? The whole process wouldn’t take two minutes and it would be pass fail. We could go so far as to publish the questions about a week before the election. NEVER going to happen.
It really doesn’t matter any way. Someone said, "It’s not the vote that counts, but who counts the votes." No, it wasn’t Joseph Stalin that said that.
He never had to run for election, but if he had, he would have counted the vote.
