I can't imagine a really good argument against this. I read the article and saw the part about the democrats feeling it might cause them to get less votes, but I missed seeing any good logic about why that should be the case.

As we all know, I'm a dyed in the wool pinko lefty liberal, but jeez people. What's wrong with proving who you are when you vote? Unless of course, the photos are like driver's license photos which normally don't bear any resemblance to your actual, real life, face.
