  >Fix issuance first, then we can talk about making it a requirement. What isn't acceptable is to deny even a single person their right to vote because they couldn't get a valid ID. Here's a list of things that require government ID right now, off the top of my head: * Getting a job * Accepting free food from a food drive * Getting a bank account or loan * Buying alcohol or cigarettes * Buying a gun * Getting a tattoo * Picking up a package * Driving a car * Buying a plane or train ticket * Viewing an apartment or house to lease/buy * Forwarding your mail or setting up a PO box * Joining a gym * Setting up your gas/electricity/cable/internet * Getting a phone with service * Entering a nightclub I'm all about giving people their rights, but making ID a requirement needs to be done. If the feds want to push it, then they can insist on criteria for acceptable issuance of ID. But I don't agree with waiting to do this anywhere it is possible to do it sooner. No other country (that I know of) is stupid enough to allow voting without ID. Perhaps the irrationality of this policy is an indictment of our government's dysfunction.
