NAACP takes U.S. voter ID issues to the UN

[Bully Taw]

25. here is how you get there...

you simply take a birth certificate to the town hall, or another form of id, or even a signed affidavit from a relative, friend, etc., and they would provide you with a voter ID card. I would guess any American citizen over the age of 18 would have the right to vote. Anyone that would fit this criteria should be eligible. The voter ID would simply be used to identify someone as eligible. It will not stop ineligible voters from voting entirely, but it will significantly stem the tide.

I just don't understand how this is not a better option than the significant voter fraud that has gone on in the past, and that people seem to find acceptable. without an ID system, anyone can go to any polling place, give a name and cast a ballot. when this happens, legal voters are disenfranchised.

I would think that any state would allow any legal, registered voter to cast a ballot. my only point is that you have to be registered, and you need some form of ID. There aren't many out there that don't already have some form of ID, but we do need to make every effort to accommodate those that do not. I want all legal registered voters to vote. I do not want those votes devalued by fraudulent votes being cast.
