The recent activities around the nation to register voters and rush them to vote prior to any vetting process is putting America on the road to having elections every bit as fraudulent as those under dictatorship.
Every voter in America should be required to properly register, have their eligibility verified, and provide a picture ID with a voter’s registration card at the poll in order to cast their vote for any election, be it a local, state or national election.
The argument that providing an ID will disenfranchise the poor, minorities, and the elderly has no merit. States may offer those that do not drive a state ID that looks similar to the state’s driver’s license without providing the bearer the privilege of driving.
This brings up the argument that the homeless in America have the right to vote and that the homeless do not carry ID.
There is no reason that we cannot provide homeless citizens a valid voter registration card in the state of their choice. With a little thought to the process and a computerized system of checks and balances any homeless citizen will have the privilege of voting. Even the homeless know where and when they were born and can provide this information in order to get a valid voter registration card in the state of their choice. What address will they use? They may return to the same place where they applied for their voter’s registration card to pick their card up.
One person, one vote.
Until this process is corrected, no election is by the people.
