Please explain to me how this "rampant voter fraud" is solved by requireing a voter picture ID which has been obtained without having to show a picture.  Aren't we just be shifting the venue where the ''fraud'' occurs?  You and I go to the doctor and show a picture ID because we have one.  I asume people who do not have such (there are millions) are not turned away.

You and I see no problem with having to obtain a picture voter ID because we already have such...drivers license.  Lets do this for complete fairness, require each voter to have a voter ID with a picture, but make it a separate card used only to vote and EVERYBODY has to get one if they plan to vote.  Make EVERYBODY go through the same inconvenience and hassle to get it as all those people who don't have a picture ID already and who haven't previously needed one...like say an elderly blind black lady who was born in deep rural south Alabama in 1922 and has voted every election since the VRA gave her the vote, but who does not drive, is too old to have an original birth certificate, and originally used her birth name and later her deceased husbands name.  No, you and I would not have nearly as big a hassle as she, but it would be enough of an inconvenience to make us think maybe this voter fraud crap is not as nearly as big a deal as the rightwing politicians tell us it is.  Come on, none of us fell off the turnip truck last week, we ALL know what is actually driving this voter ID mantra!

Hound you are correct!!
