But I did. Checking valid photo IDs should eliminate the registration of Mickey Mouse. |
I heard that 10% of the population (of course those are more likely to be poor and non-white) don't have such ID.
So lets cut out 10% of potential voters because almost nobody has actually cast a fraudulent vote? Disenfranchise 10% of voters because 0.000000000000000000001% is "fraudulent".
I don't think so. I can see how the idea might attract supporters of the party those 10% won't be voting for however. |
Yes and it's nutso that photo-ID is not required. My autistic son has a state-issued photo ID. Anyone can get one. It's not too much to ask.

Mysticism is a rational enterprise. Religion is not. The mystic has recognized something about the nature of consciousness prior to thought, and this recognition is susceptible to rational discussion. The mystic has reason for what he believes, and these reasons are empirical. --Sam Harris
