voters, you sign by your name, you go vote. No fraud, no problems, no long waits etc. Not so this year. This year you have to have a government issued, currant dated, photo ID. We have a Voter's Hall of Fame in this state. If you vote in every election for 50 years your name goes on the wall at the hall of fame. This year, 47 people who's name is on that wall will not be allowed to vote because there is no official record of their birth. They were born at home before births were required to be registered with the state and they have given up their driver's licenses years ago.
