>I mean, c'mon Mike, this is all total BS. Voters should have to prove who they are, right? How else do you get rid of voter fraud? Proof of ID should be a responsibility of a voter for God's sake. Personally, I summarily reject any arguments against proof of ID because AFAIAC they are all very suspicious rationales.

Didn't we have this conversation before? Bottom line for me is that unless ID is available for free and without undue hardship (like missing work), it's a poll tax. Make ID available for free in every public library and local district court (justice of the peace) and have the ID stations open days, nights and weekends, and I'm okay with it. But if someone has to pay for it, or take off work to get it, or needs a car or complicated public transit trip to get it, it's unreasonable.

Every adult citizen, from the richest to the poorest, should be able to vote, and any requirement that makes it harder for poor people to vote is wrong.
