How about - you have to have your Government Issued Number tattooed on your arm! or perhaps those RF ID chips in dogs and cats are now required at birth!
There are many Constitutional issues with these types of restrictions on voting and there have been many assaults on the 1964 voter-rights act but the bottom line is that Supreme Court has yet to hear or decide on several state wide mandates of this type - so far the high court has upheld the law as it has stood since the mid 1960's - we will see!
Hasn’t it been the Governments job to verify, and validate the electorate not the other way around? I signed the voter role and can verify my signature and that is not enough? Humm, seems like fear and suspicion is running rampant in the Land of the Free!
I wonder as the "right leaning" continues how far back up the trail we will go in destroying civil liberty and reducing the people's power to have voice in governance.
At some point the reality that, governance can become tyranny easily, which the framers of the US Constitution well knew, will become the reality -
how much the people will be able to reconstitute fair and impartial governance, when the populace realizes the score, may be vastly more limited by the growing technological might of a continually more and more Orwellian government bent upon keeping power, assimilating all, and suppressing derision, for the economic welfare of a wealthy elite who supplant the vote with dollars.....
That is a far greater fear, for me, then somebody voting out of turn!
