I believe the problem is not so much as the ID issue as the OP's indignant rant about a "friend" that was supposedly told that he/she could vote, even though he/she was a Canadian. Since there is rampant voter fraud by the left, some sort of response was apparently needed to save face for the very unethical, immoral Democrat party. Someone was obviously joking and the indignant leftie was offended. Like I have said many times, humor is lost on liberals.
