YES!!!!  I used to live in Northwest Indiana.  If you don't believe the death come back to life, be in Chicago on election day.  There are more demorats then citizens in the city.  With a STRONG requirement for ID, voting in Chicago could be over in 20 minutes, for all the dead would not have proper ID.

The most common answer I've heard from people who don't have a form of ID is that it's just the "government's way to keep track of you."  To be quite honest, that's a pretty lame excuse to me.  You don't need to have an ID to be able to be found and kept track of.  I understand the need for an ID when voting, or for anything rather.  It protects your identity and doesn't allow others to do things in your name.  When showing an ID before voting, it ensures the people there that no one else is using your name to cast a ballot (i.e., people who want to vote more than once or people who aren't registered at all).  \n\nIDs are pretty necessary to do much of anything lately...open bank accounts, fly somewhere, even accepting new job positions in a lot of cases.  Most think of "Drivers License" when they hear ID, but you can have a state ID as well, which don't require tests or anything.  With so much identity theft going on in the world today, it's better to have an ID than to go without.

The arugement is that poor people and minorites don't have drivers license or state ID cards.\n\nIf there was ever a racial remark that is one in my book, since most people have or can get an ID card or a drivers licence.\nIt is required for most welfare ( so the poorest of the people will always have them)\n\nBut it is really a way to keep allowing illegal aliens and dead people to vote.  Or to have people appear at the court house using names of others  to vote.\n\nfor example if I knew your real name and where you lived, I could go to your polling place early that morning and vote for you.\nAnd I could do that over and over again in various places all day.

I seriously doubt it.  You have to have a photo to identify yourself and make a sworn statement that is notorized.  In this day of terrorism, having the proper legal documents for identification is crucial.

In the following states legal residence is not required to apply for a driver's license: Alaska, Hawaii, Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin. In addition, states that have verification loopholes are: the District of Columbia, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina,  North Dakota, and Tennessee.\nSome states  require immigrants to report to special centers and the DLs have the temporary visa status stamped on them.\n\nYou mean illegal immigrants shouldn't be permitted to get driver's licenses?

Depends upon the state you're in.  Most western states allow citizen "iniatives" or "propositions." If you get enough signatures (usually a percentage of the population) then it can go on the ballot for a statewide vote.  If it passes, it can become law (without the legislature's approval.)  Other states don't have that option at all (a good idea, in my mind. The only thing more corrupt than a legislature is a CITIZEN INITIATIVE!) So your only resort is to ask your legislators to change the law.\nHere's a link to a state map showing initiative states;\nhttp://www.iandrinstitute.org/statewide_i&r.htm

As long as you are registered, all you need is a government issued photo ID - like a driver's license or state ID - and you can vote. \n\nI haven't seen my voter's registration card in years, and I vote in every election.

I don't know about Ohio but I used to live in Florida and I voted when Kerry ran against Bush and I didn't have to show my passport; all i needed was my drivers license (picture id).

Yes,, you just need to sign your name.. Go vote and get off your computer!! Why would you wait till election day to have this question???

I´m sure it is possible, but would it be worthwhile?  Your ID number on your voucher is to make sure you aren´t stuffing the ballot with multiple votes.\n\nSure this ID could probably could link you back to your vote, but who would want to know that info, and how could that info be used against you.\n\nWith mail in ballots, I have to sign my ballot envelope. but the ballot doesn't have any personal info on it other than my voting choices.  Look to see if your state has mail in ballots.

Yes, a few years back because of the Patriot Act and terrorist incidents, they require all persons to provide ID, if you are not a citizen (a green card holder) then you also have to show them your green card.

No.  Bring an ID or utility bill "just in case".  But if you have voted before or have recently registered you don't need to show any form of ID.\n\nIf you haven't voted in a while you may be asked to provide your date of birth.

There are some states that are thinking about letting people register the day of the elections, but no state has done it yet. Voter registration is not just for voting. It is used in some states and the federal government to pick you for jury duty. Some candidates on the ballot use voter registration for sending out fliers. Also, in some places, the amount of registered voters determines what district or area a candidate can run in.

That's correct.  Many states have "motor-voter" laws, which allow voter registration at the Department of Motor Vehicles, also.\n\nHaving said that, if you intend to vote tomorrow, you'd better call first.  Most states require a 30-day window between registration and voting, so it is more than likely that you're too late.  Do call, though, as there are a few states that do allow same-day registration with photo ID and proof of current address (something like a current power bill or cable bill, not a driver's license that is still valid, even after you've moved 14 times in the past two years).

it should be written on your voting card that you register for

I believe it is law. Check with yur local elections officer. They should give you time to go and vote. What are they, republican? LOL

Technically, no. You must be a resident of the state in which you are getting your drivers license. Since you cannot be a resident of two states, this would be technically against the law. Also, since getting your drivers license also registers you to vote nowadays, this would register you in two states to vote - which is a felony.
