Not to be insulting...but it's best your nephew (and people like him) do NOT vote.
Once he grows up a bit then he will get an ID, etc. and MAYBE vote. But at least then he will be a bit more qualified to vote.
Last thing this country needs are people who are so dependent on others going in to vote for a party (Democrat) whose only objective these days seems to be making people rely on the govt. (which makes the govt. more and more powerful).
I just don't think it's setting the bar too high to require people to have a govt. issued picture ID to vote.
We SHOULD be giving them a freakin' test at the polling center to determine if they are knowledgeable about the issues before voting. But then there would be all hell raised because apparently Democrats are all on the govt. dole and have no ID (that's what the Democrats themselves are saying when they claim that requiring ID will "help" the Republican party beat them).
EDIT: The irony of this all is that there are tens of millions of ELIGIBLE voters who DO have ID's and can go to the polls on the actual election day...but choose not to vote at all.
