Voter Photo ID -- Is It Really Terrible?

[earthJoker]

Then again, here in Germany it's not a problem. You get a card in your post box stating where and when you can go to vote and then you turn up with your ID.

Of course there's this irrational fear of identity cards in the US.

We also get a card where and when to vote, and the card you get is personal. You only need to sign it, no need for ID.

Which is funny as I really don't know anyone without ID here. Unlike the US you only register in your administration once, not for every voting. Which would be a to much paperwork as we easily go to the polls around 4 times a year.

Thats how it works here for the moment. Plus the polling station has a listing of who is supposed to vote at that location.

Problem nowadays is getting that original card. The process to get a valid ID is not cheap, or easy.
