'X', I was fine with your post and the need for "facts".

Then you went and spoiled it with partisan, talking point opposition slandering. You take a general condition (voter fraud) that has been known to exist for years for every election no matter whether R or D and then attempt to make it specific to facilitate the need for Republicans to turn voters away for the ridiculous reasons you list:

"The real problem appears to be winning an election this year for the Conservatives/GOP. If your candidates aren't viable, keeping Democratic/Liberal voters away from the polls is a major benefit toward that end. If it can't be won on it's merits - cheat."

You usually maintain your support for your party and your beliefs without the usual slandering done so frequently by some of your compatriots. The back end of your post is really demeaning to your past style.

Without links and facts and what ever else you call for above. Can you reach a non partisan, business, common sense, R or D neutral opinion why YOU think voter ID is either a good idea or a bad idea.

The real issue is if in fact voter fraud no matter how much there is or insignificant, if the voter registration/ID at the polls streamlines the entire process and eliminates the opportunity for fraud.....why not do it.
Really try to think without a partisan bent. Problem solve like in school or at work where nobody ever needed to include a diatribe on party preference to make a point.

Ditto the above for any others that are trying to make a partisan banquet out of ham sandwich.
