Nothing.

And again...there is absolutely no way to say that there is no voter fraud. They have no way of knowing it.

Hell, in the city of Chicago it's famous for the last 150 years or so for all the mass voter fraud.
So when you walk into your precinct to vote they don't ask your name and look you up on a list?

There were stories pouring out of Ohio in the Kerry Vs Bush election about how the state had too few voting machines in the democrat heavy areas and they switched the rules about a week before the election about being able to vote at a precinct that wasn't yours. So they had people waiting in line 6-8 hours only to be told they have to go across town to a different place.

Prior to going to vote by mail I have always been asked for my name and had it checked against the voter rolls.

You really think there are groups put together by politicians and bused around town on election day to vote numerous times? In most states, because of the rolls, this isn't possible unless they have multiple fake registrations. Also, none of these people have ever come forward? In this day and age when a guy murders his wife and puts it on Facebook nobody has said anything?

I find it hard to believe.

In the end. I am not opposed to the ID system so long as there is something in place to help those who have little or no money or resources get the proper ID without having to spend money to do so. I do have a problem when they start reducing early voting days and changing laws that make it harder to vote.
