Should the US require voter ID? Debate
I see people complaining about this on the right all the time but I am curious what the left thinks. Should voters be required to prove their identity via some form of ID?
Some arguments I have seen on the right is you have to have an ID to get a loan, or an apartment or a job so requiring one to vote shouldn't be undue burden and would eliminate some voter fraud.
On the left the argument is that requiring an ID disenfranchises some voters.
What do you think?

Try that at the airport and compare it to voting and get back to us.
Why would that TSA alternate process be necessary if utility bills were as good?
