A federally-issued ID, such as a Social Security card, should be sufficient ID for in-person voting. And for voting by mail, keep in mind that many people don't have access to copiers.Dottie Gutenkaufnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006829178157020052.post-15518749413997376272011-11-21T15:12:12.871-05:002011-11-21T15:12:12.871-05:00I don't see a problem showing some kind of gov...I don't see a problem showing some kind of government id when coming to vote. <br /><br />We have to show ID to get employed, to get a driver's license, to secure utilities, and many other normal living activities. I think it makes sense you prove that you are who you say you are, that you are a US citizen and have a right to vote.Olive Lynchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01991639813436898088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006829178157020052.post-15664660568926365052011-11-16T18:13:00.160-05:002011-11-16T18:13:00.160-05:00Hello Doc:

Regarding the Senate Bill, I am concerned about possible voter disenfranchisement as a result of the ID requirement.<br /><br />Regards,<br />AdrianAdrian Mapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067433441990160389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006829178157020052.post-84289846049861189522011-11-15T21:25:38.600-05:002011-11-15T21:25:38.600-05:00Would the Assembly bill eliminate the present meth...Would the Assembly bill eliminate the present method of conducting primary elections? Otherwise what difference is there from presen t absentee ballot?<br /><br />I have a problem with the Senate Bill. How can one show proof on an absentee ballot and to have to do so at the polls seems to be an attempt to make a standard procedure more difficult. There are challengers at the polls.olddochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02467958592320642425noreply@blogger.com
