While <a href="http://www.supremecourtus.gov/" rel="nofollow">SCOTUS</a> disagrees with me, I find it to be a poll tax -- and the only reason Republicans want it is because it will disenfranchise poor and minority voters, blocs that largely vote Democratic. It's pure partisan politics aimed at gaining an advantage; not protecting our right to vote or promoting good public policy. And I'm not just saying that.

Identity theft is prevalent enough these days. How would you feel if you showed up to the polls only to find you had already voted? The article cites Indiana only, but MANY states have options for non-license photo identifications; especially after 9/11. Not sure why this is such a big deal.
