VOTER ID: Just creating a problem

The Press has had a number of commenters suggesting that voter ID law is necessary. Baloney. That is a solution looking for a problem. Nobody has come out with any credible voter fraud allegations. Unlike a potential check casher who doesn’t know me from Adam, the election board knows exactly who I am. They have my name, address, and proof that I’m eligible to vote in Idaho. If you want to improve something and not merely sow more distrust, discord, and suspicion, have the election boards send out post card notifications for elections. The cards that get returned will tell the board who to take off the rolls. Tell people to bring their cards to the polls, if you like.
