Things We Need an ID For...

you bring up a good point. The procedures currently are geared toward punishing people who falsify the registration as opposed to preventing the falsification in the first place.

As I posted in the other thread, I am in favour of requiring citizens to demonstrate their citizenship when they register to vote. That would require the changing of at least three federal laws and the corresponding regulations. What are the chances of that happening in Congress?

Perhaps we need a National Identification Card... see how well that idea flies.
