Archie, I actually like this post which should make you nervous.

The absentee ballots are indeed fraught with potential peril and I am not sure how you fix that one. I do think it should be harder to get one than it currently is but other than that I am at a loss. I do know that showing some form of picture identification has the potential to eliminate a lot of voter fraud where a person votes multiple times under different names. Requiring this as an interim step seems to make sense to me but is definitely not a permanent solution.

As for a national voter ID card, I would like to see a proposal for this that also protects a person's privacy. But like a driver's license, if it is voluntary then I could probably get behind it. And by voluntary I mean if you want to vote you have to get one but if you are so opposed to having one then you don't get to vote. Just like the driver's license being a privilege. I don't necessarily like being fingerprinted but I need to drive and thats the law.

OMG, we may agree on something......what's the world coming to?!?!?
