    Your God? It should be illegal to not check IDs at the
    polls. Otherwise you would surely have illegal voters.

    Not at all. Citizens leery of cops and not wanting the
    hassle may *choose* not to vote (which is fine with me)
    but they are not *forbidden* to vote. Convicted felons
    and wanted criminals would be forbidden to vote.

    Of course the felons could move to California and still
    vote, as often as they wanted.
