The more qualified people who vote in any election, is a better representation of what Americans want. I am fully in favor of voter id and I am fully in favor getting more qualified people registered to vote.

I may be wrong - but I believe I read somewhere that in the 2008 presidential election, 64% of eligible voters voted. The highest turnout in history !!!! And I believe that this November that number will be even higher.
