A GOV PHOTO ID

Dec 28, 2011

OK , the idea of having a Gov issued Photo ID for Voting is a fair one.

BUT what we have heard about the 37 States with Republican Governors requiring different papers and making it all the more difficult is FAR FROM FAIR !

So , It annoyed me, and I began to think about how to goabout making sure every voter would have a Photo ID issued by GOV.

SO, let me tell you how to think about this. WE are A NATION and we have NATIONAL ELECTIONs on the FEDERAL LEVEL. DO we NOT ???

Then it is the ROLE /DUTY of the FEDERAL GOVernment to DECIDE what it wants and How it wants to go about it.

It is NOT the role of Each STATE Governor to DICTATE what they want or need.

SO the ATTORNEY General has to declare the rules.

I suggest the following for ease of logistics.

EACH and every POLLING stations should be equiped with the COMPUTER and the CAMERA attached to it that can take a picture like they have In SAMS CLUB

The voter who does not already have some kind of acceptable ID should bring an addressed envelope from a utility company , their social security card and/or Medicare or Food stamp or even a regular credit card with their name on it .
The official could then take a picture of them and immediatly issue the card as Sams Club does.
A fee of 5 dollars could be charged and it should be ANNOUNCED that a HEAVY PENALTY will be effective if anyone cheats or misrepresents.

This could be done by other places like Public Libraries .

I have presented this idea in an Email to our very good REP LOUISE SLAUGHTER in Rochester < NY and have also contacted the AG office by phone and asked them to contact me.
The FEDERAL Government should decide about this, and NOT the STATES .

ALSO the Federal Government could use the POST OFFICES for this purpose.
