We have to have government photo ID to check out books in a library, obtain medical care, government benefits, and for kids to even enter their schools. The only way we can honestly and truly hold appropriate elections in this country is to mandate national voter government issued ID laws.
The excuse about not everyone having photo ID from a government agency is bogus. All states have the ability and openness to help those who are lower income or poor transporation to help get those affected government issued ID.
ALSO, cross checking death records to make sure the deceased aren't registered too. A quick per state cross match would remove the perceived misuse.
This type of transparency and accuracy would help both parties obtain a true understanding of the population they serve.
