But you are switching the burden of proof here--you propose a new law to foil election fraud. Please point us to a significant case of election fraud in the US that would have been foiled with voter ID laws.

Instead of changing the voting laws how about helping people who “do not drive or fly” to get state IDs? There problem solved.

There is so much discussion about voter fraud and the use of photo IDs. I fail to see why anyone would object to producing a photo ID for the privilege of voting. If you are a U.S. citizen and want to vote, then get a photo ID. I don’t see how anyone can object, thinking it’s unconstitutional. This step won’t entirely eliminate voter fraud, but it should substantially reduce it. The photo ID should be provided at little or no cost to the citizen. JMO.
