The link provided by the OP should reinforce the need and desirability of strict voter ID laws. Unless or until this nation can provide a fool proof measure of no voter fraud we will never be able to obstensibly choose by popular vote. Even stained fingers won't do it

Voting is a privilege and the most important contribution a citizen can give to his/her country. Citizens should be outraged at any attempt by any party or person attempting to circumvent or illegally influence the outcome.

Look at other nations who have no voting rights or their voting rights are a sham and that should be enough to concern a citizen but it isn't and we are all complicit but omission or commission in he quest to win at all costs
