Voter ID

Seniors need photo IDs to apply for CTA/Metra free cards, Medicare or Medicaid and Social Security benefits.

Photo ID's should be required for every occupant of the U.S.
The use of these ID's would provide for the accurate distributiuon and cost accounting for benefits and services for all people. A side effect of this rigorous accounting would be the minimizing of fraudulent claims. After all what are we hiding?

F Chin, you're not using your real name. What are YOU hiding?

What about the people who's faith forbids being in photos? Will you require them to violate their faith?

A consistent ID across the nation would cost money. What's your plan to pay for it? Also, as Windows demonstrates, being the biggest/only guy on the block makes you the biggest target for hacking. If someone breaks the security in a national ID card, then everyone in the nation has to get it replaced or updated. Ever think of the logistics behind that?

moquif, you have no logic skills whatsoever. If someone can produce an ID to cash a welfare or social security check (or even to open a bank account) then why the HELL can't they do it to vote? At one time, blacks were lynched for daring to vote. Now they can't even be bothered to shell out $5 for a state ID card? You are a kook.

This is an extremely disturbing topic. As an election judge in Chicago, I would be disturbed, seeing all the ID coffin pictures as "dead people" came in to vote.
