Should a photo ID be required every time you vote in Pennsylvania?

“No. That stops people from voting. And not enough people vote, as it is. Getting a photo ID in Philadelphia is a big hassle. I had to stand in line for hours to get mine at the DMV here. That’s an unnecessary obstacle for people.”

“There should be some form of ID required to avoid fraud, but a photo isn’t any guarantee that the ID hasn’t been tampered with. Just have the person show something indicating their name and address. It could be a utility bill or library card.”

“No. The timing of the new Pennsylvania law is very suspect. I just think the Republicans are trying to suppress the potential votes for Obama in November. The new law is a way of disenfranchising folks who otherwise would vote for Obama.”

“Yes. The government should take your photo while you’re standing in line at the polling place — free of charge. Then your photo could be placed on file for future reference. The next time you want to vote — just show your face. They match your face to the photo on file — and you should be allowed to vote.”
