p>Why not a national ID system? Why not any kind of biometric systems? Why nothing but a picture?
A National ID system you say? you mean like REAL ID?
As for biometrics, what do you think a picture is?
Nonsense. A voter ID requirement is a requirement for voters to prove that they are eligible to vote, nothing more and nothing less. The fact that that may impose a small extra burden on a tiny minority of voters is incidental, and the burden is not unreasonable. It is also what all other democracies in the world require, to no ill effect.
To quote you, Nonsense
Every time I've voted int he UK I've never needed an ID. In fact, until a few years ago, UK driving licenses didn't even have photos. You just give your name and address when you walk in. You don't even need the ballot card that's sent to you in the post.
Don't go saying 'all other democracies require' when they don't. Some basic research does wonders....
