The noise about voter ID being bad has been around for a long time, and is always coming from people who have the most to benefit from voting being a less than accurate process. I was amused years ago when President Carter would tour various nations thinking that somehow his presence would make the voting in these countries more accurate. He could have just went to Chicago.
Do they not ask you anything when you show up to vote?
You just say "I'm mr.such and such" and they give you a ballot to vote?
