You likely can't eliminate either fraud or abuse of a system, but we should make every effort to minimize both. LHs idea seems like a good place to start.
Well fraud and abuse is defined by the law. Is it perfect?...no. But neither am I blind.

Then if the woman thinks differently than her husband about the issues, too bad right?

Why don't they give photo IDs [not licenses] out for free if they're going to require them to vote?
Why do you want a man to cancel out his wife's vote?
Yes, I do.The TheologyOnline.com TOPIC OF THE DAY for October 5th, 2012 08:40 AM
toldailytopic: Do you favor voter ID laws?
No, it's just a way for Republicans to decrease turnout.
The real fraud has been committed by Republican government officials. That's what the laws should address. But unfortunately the idiot tea party was put in power in 2010 and this is the result.
I didn't know it,
Why or why not?
Why do you want to prevent most people from voting?
Three wolves (renters) and a sheep (landowner) vote on what to have for lunch . . .
I agree. The only problem I have with voter ID laws is that not everyone has them, they're not easy for some people to get and the laws are being changed right before the election rather than well in advance.
I don't have any problem with it, so long as the ID was free, reliably allowed legal voters to vote ,kept non-citizens from voting, and was readily available even to people who don't have transportation.
But of course, that would defeat the purpose for which voter ID was intended.
As far as I know his wife agrees with him.

That's foul, rotten, arrogant, presumptuous, despicable, and pigheaded. You should be ashamed, you strutting clueless little peacock.:loser:
I one or several politicians intended voter ID laws for that purpose, it doesn't change the fact that it is a common sense law to have in place.
I like the idea, but want to be careful in implementation. When I read things like this:
It makes me worry about the potential for abuse. Because the photo IDs can be a bar to the poor voting. As per the article here, in Texas you would have to go to a government agency and pay twenty two dollars, be fingerprinted and produce a birth certificate to vote.
I'm for reducing voter fraud, not using the law to commit it. So we need to make the process fair for those who aren't in a position to pay for it. In my community we know one another. I'd bet a number of poor and elderly blacks couldn't produce either birth certificate nor have ever possessed driver's licenses. Is the point of the law to deny them the vote when we can attest to their identity? If the law allows for that it is an instrument of tyranny and not fairness and protection.
So that's a huge, "in principle, but how we do it makes all the difference" vote from me.
Texas just had such a law rejected by the courts; it was just a little too targeted against minorities.
It does not matter who wins the Election for President.
The USA Economy runs in Cycles and I say that the Job market
for the USA will INCREASE NEXT YEAR and
in 7 years it will be Much Healthier because
the Majority of the People have been Humbled and
have Humbled themselves before God and changed their Greedy Ways.

I believe that the "stimulus package" slowed what should have been a relatively quick recovery and I believe that Obama wants to do more of the same. I wish that Obama had only jacked the debt up by an additional 4 trillion, by the way!Delmar said,
You don't believe that politicians can do,
and do things that stand in the way of economic recovery?

What is there left to do for an Economy that is 4 Trillion Dollars in Debt.
God Rules the world and allows man to Experience Many different Economies
and find out by FAILURE that only God's way works best.

But do not Worry because the Bible says that the Economy will be Vibrant
just before Armageddon.
