Even without a drivers license, the state issues IDs. Everyone has some sort of photo ID. Life is impossible without one. Requiring it greatly decreases voter fraud which is why Democrats oppose it so adamantly.

jello, I don't think voter fraud is funny. I think anyone committing voter fraud should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. What I find funny is that Trump and many Republicans are accusing only Democrats of voter fraud, but the first arrest was from a Trump voter. I'm not naive enough to believe that it doesn't occur with both parties. I'm also not naive (or paranoid) enough to believe that either party - in this day and age - would be behind such fraud.

HARTFORD >> State Rep. Christina “Tita” Ayala, D-Bridgeport, was arrested Friday on 19 voting fraud charges.

Ayala, 31, is accused of voting in local and state elections in districts she did not live, the Chief State’s Attorney’s Office said in a press release.

The arrest warrant affidavit also alleges Ayala provided fabricated evidence to state Election Enforcement Commission investigators that showed she lived at an address in a district where she voted while actually living outside the district, according to the release.
