Why is anyone against photo IDs? A photo ID is not terribly expensive and is readily available (I have at least 5 photo IDs). If it's truly too much of a problem, then the state or feds should require it and institute it. Seems like it would resolve alot of the election fraud concerns.
Or better yet, just have people register their thumbprint when they register to vote and then the voter can "sign in" at the voting machine using their thumb. They already take your fingerprints at the DMV (in California at least) so this really shouldn't be a problem at all (your are automtaicall registered to vote when you get your DL). The technology is readily available already so cost shouldn't be an issue.
Assuming NCB is correct in his pamphlet, churches encouraging their members to vote is irrelevant unless it's a church of people ineligible to vote. I think what NCB is alluding to is La Raza encouraging people to vote who do not have that right to do so.
The Campus Crusaders at my school are polite and respectful and never follow people around in stark contrast to the La Raza, Mecha and the LaRouchians who use violent tactics and harrassment to "persuade" people including disrupting classes.
Speaking of fraud, what exactly are we talking about here? chads? Or are there really people who try to sneak into the polls to vote when they aren't allowed to? It's kind of weird to me that anyone would go to such great lengths when such a small portion of our elegible voteing population actually goes out and votes.
