What is the big deal about requiring people having to show their ID's when they vote? Your voting is confidential, so no one will know who you voted for unless you tell them (by voice or apparel). I have to show my ID every time I check-in at the doctor's office. I have to show my ID when I pick up some prescriptions at the pharmacy. Even at the grocery store when you purchase some products, you have to show your ID. When you write a check in a store (instead of using a credit card), you have to show your ID. There are so many things that require us to show an ID.
Voting is one of the most important civil actions that we can perform as an individual. With something as important as this, wouldn't you think that you would want to have every voter authenticated before counting their vote? I think that many of the other things for which we are required to show a valid ID pale in comparison to the importance of our vote.
I have no problem in requiring me to show a valid ID before I cast my vote. Why is that such an issue with so many? I really think that they just don't want to have limits on the number of times and the number of places that they cast their votes. And that, my friend, is just downright criminal.
