I didnt say it was non-existent...I said it was neither widespread nor found anywhere on a more limited basis. You can always find an example here and there...start with Ann Coulter, who used her real estate agents address to vote in Florida.
Policies should not be set based on examples of one!

Of course people will extend it to a "voter tax" if one is compelled to get some sort of government id. The same kinds of thing you need to cash checks or get jobs, so I'm not really sure what they are talking about.

My concern is with requiring a PHOTO idea which disproportionately might impact minorities and elderly.
I have no problems with requiring some form of ID...most states allow bank statements, utility bills. etc.
But that still doesnt address the issue of the homeless...who regardless of their economic status, should have the right to vote.
