I HAVEN'T HEARD MUCH ABOUT TROUBLE WITH THE NEW REQUIREMENT TO SHOW PICTURE ID AT THE POLLS. This story seems to support the idea that it was largely trouble-free.
I believe that requiring a valid photo ID is an absolute requirement to maintain trust in our electoral process. Electronic voting machines are another worry, but the ID issue seems like a no-brainer.
I don't even like the option to sign an affidavit of identification if you don't have your ID with you, but it's better than nothing at this point.
