I vote with the tip of my penis, making little white boys and girls. If you think who your tick on a paper means something then i don't know that's pretty stupid bro.
India a country with over a billion people, which is much poorer than the US has voter ID. Why shouldn't the US expect equal or better voting systems than a less developed country.
So is applying for a driver's license, or anything like that that is imposed by government. Voter ID is the most important. Everything else is secondary.
