Voter Suppression
Stop Voter Suppression, grandfather those that have voted in the past, and establish a nationwide standard ID for those reaching the legal voting age.
Why is this important?
I am concerned about possible voter suppression. Therefore, for voter ID, if you voted in a prior election, whatever the method of identification that was used by you and accepted; thus allowing you to enter the voting booth to mark your ballot and to submit your vote, can and will be used as your voter identification in perpetuity. That is, you grandfather the voter, much as we do in most cases when a standard is revisited and or revised. And, to eventually lead to a standard nationwide ID; at reaching the voting age of 18, people must register to vote, much like the process which was in place when we turned 18 and registered for the draft in the fifties. That gives an individual anywhere from one to four years to acquire the needed voter's ID before election time.
