felons lose their right to vote, but that's the only group i know of that is disenfranchised-by their own actions tho.
and i do think that requiring id is common sense, but voter registration also needs to be fixed. people who live near a state line have been registered in multiple areas, and have voted multiple times from what i've read.
voter rolls shouldn't just be purged of non-voters, but states should cross reference. but id would also be a red flag in that instance. i know of a guy who lives on property straddling the ark/la border. he has all ark id, tags,works in ark, etc. but his 911 address is in la. so, yeah, he could be registered to vote twice. how many out there like that? or they move, vote absentee in home state, in person here?
