On the issue of identifiers, we've had a thorough discussion at different times about the requirement for photo ID. We all recognize that there are individuals who don't have photo ID. Is there someplace else in our recommendations, or are we going to consider...? As we all agreed, the biggest issue that we need to grapple with is to eliminate, as much as we can, any potential for voter fraud.
My thought is that if we were to have a recommendation that the voter be required to show photo ID, but didn't have any, he or she could provide some other form of identification, which is already required.
In addition, if someone showed up at a polling station without photo ID and had other pieces of identification, automatically the poll clerk would look at the list and say what is your date of birth? To me, that should pretty much eliminate it, if there was a requirement of the polling clerk that if you don't have photo ID, I'm going to ask you what your date of birth is to identify that you are who you say you are.
