Some of these people could at some point in the future run for office with other motives - don't think it would not happen ... just saying. People should have to produce the same info for running for office as they would to get a passport ... proof of who exactly you are is not unreasonable to me.

What I'm about to say will probably tick off some of my fellow libs but..........
When you go to vote you must be asked for ID. I know that just about anyone can get a drivers license or State ID but at least ask for it for goodness sakes.
And we all wonder why both sides ***** and moan about voter fraud.
I have to show ID to get on a plane, buy alcohol, cigarettes and a bunch of other "normal" things. Why can I vote by telling the 75 year old woman that I'm "John Smith" on the voter list in my town?
