Not unusual, I am still a little bit confused. I use a voter registration card and my drivers license in order to vote. My license is on record and then you have to be on record as a legal voter in your precincts to show that you are in your polling district. Just a picture I.D. does not mean as much as a license. What other way do we need? This has always been how it is done, are we trying to give more options? Nothing else is as sure. The State I.D. one gets at the license bureau is in lieu of a drivers license. Yet, the I.D. card can be faked. I would say that if it is not done this way something could go wrong.This is also what Tom said. If the rules we have work, no one should be able to use another method of any kind. And, we cannot know about all that has gone on in many precincts. No matter what, there will be those who vote illegally.
Yet it may be like the dollar bill. One can fake the picture I.D. I would have to say. If English is our first public language they should not be able to vote if they cannot read and write English. I guess this adds another problem. We should have rules protecting our election process. The problem seems to be that certain precincts have been said to ignore such a process so that illegals can vote. The rules are clear and correct, so nothing else should be accepted.

This does NOTHING to disenfranchise any legal voter since most of them have either a driver license or can be issued a state ID card with a picture.
