Michael, I live in a relatively small township. The idea that the poll workers could identify me on sight is silly. They do not know me—I have lived here for over 14 years—and I am sure that in a large city that is even more true. I see no problem with having to produce an ID to vote, at least in my state, as anyone receiving state aide—those poor who are most cited as being disadvantaged by a requirement to produce an ID to vote—must have a State ID to utilize and access much of that state aide. Medicaid, SNAP, HWAP, and many other benefits require proof of identification which would seem to indicate that when going to vote this very same ID would be available.
Where does the opposition to producing an ID really come from? I do not understand.
