Oh, I don't know.  I kinda think that keeping some people from voting is better for the country than encouraging some people to vote more than once.
Well there you have it it seems. Conservatives would rather disenfranchise someone who wants to vote than risk the rare instance of someone voting more than once. I would sincerely want the person who has a will to vote to excersize that most important franchise in our country, even if it means some will exploit it.

Actually what I really think is that there should be a test before people are handed a ballot.  Something with teeth in it that expects people to know something about their country.  I don't believe Civics is any longer a subject taught in public schools.  Why not?  Not that it would help much now that the curriculum has been saturated with political correctness. 

As far as that rare instance of double, triple or more votes by one person, I believe it happens quite often, especially with the advent of absentee and early voting.  People can move about from one area to another and cast votes multiple times in various locations.  Even with voter ID, as far as I know there is no database of voters that covers the entire country and no precinct workers checking each voter against it. 

I can understand why Dems don't want Voter ID.  It would ruin their vote cheating practices.  It isn't enough that they have voting machines calibrated to turn Republican votes to Democrats.  They want to ensure their dead voters don't lose out on their chance to vote.

Yes bring back the good old days of literacy tests to vote. Conservatives have always sought means to suppress the vote. VoterId is just their latest ploy, but trying to stop certain groups from voting is something they've been consistent about for hundreds of years.
