Voter Fraud

Why does the same thing happen every October in an election year? There is currently a situation in Ohio where ACORN and other far left organizations are attempting to register hundreds of thousands of dead, fraudulent and fictitious individuals to vote. Anyone who has ever been pulled over by the police, bought cigarettes, cashed a check, bought a beer, flew on an airplane, opened a credit card account, applied for membership at Blockbuster, used a debit card, applied for a job, applied to college, applied for foodstamps, applied for housing assistance, went to the social services office, or applied for a loan at a bank has had to produce a drivers license or some sort of photo ID that shows that they are who they say they are. Why should it be any different for voting? If you are over 18, not a felon and are a legal US citizen you should have the right to vote and you should have the right to vote one time. The Democrats say that requiring identification at polling stations would be a form of discrimination. They say that people are required to show ID for those other things I mentioned because it is either prudent when lending money or serving beer to minors or a matter of national security. Excuse me but I think it is most definitely a matter of national security when voting for the man who will become, arguably, the most powerful man on the planet. Maybe I would understand this thinking if it were before WWII when there were farmers who lived so far from anything resembling a city that they just learned how to drive out of necessity and didn't bother a license or maybe around the time of the Civil War when only the wealthy or those in the military could afford a photograph or any form of identification. However, we live in the 21st century. A century where we have executives speaking with each other through teleconferencing on 3 different continents. A century where we can live in New York, have a business meeting in San Francisco at 9am and still be home in time for dinner. A century where CEO's can go to bed at night and while they are sleeping have presentations created in India and faxed to them so they will be on their desk when they get to work the next morning. Why, in this day and age can we not make voters provide identification when voting. It is our civic duty to do 2 things. Number one to vote for those who will represent and lead us. Number two, require that those elections are held in a fair and ethical manner.
