Both. Less votes would definitely be counted.
I think the ID is very necessary. There is so much identity fraud and it grows exponentially each year. The shame is that there are many seniors, especially those born in the south and in other countries, that have difficulty acquiring birth certificates when none were kept. I always wonder how they got buy for 70 - 90 years without an ID or passport.
I see this on a daily basis as my "clients" are required to have state-issued photo IDs in order to qualify for specific programs. I've seen lots of other makeshift IDs that I will not accept because they don't offer the same safeguards as the state IDs (especially the post 9/11/01 versions).
