How did voting occur before photo IDs? Was voter fraud a great problem?

No evidence of voter fraud being a problem. Since it is a rare election where more than 55% of registered voters bother to vote and there is literally no evidence of any voter fraud of any significance photo ID is actually pretty silly.

How did I vote. I registered to vote with the county and on election day I went in an voted. Signed a line on a book and was given a ballot. I filled it out and put it in a locked collection box and that was voting. Where I liv no I went in and registered to vote and they send me a ballot, I fill it out, sign the envelope it is put into and return it. A lot of security because my signature must match the signature on file and they check it before they open the envelope.

Photo ID is easily purchased ask any 19 year old that wants to get into a club for those over 21. It isn’t any real security. And if you think the senior citizens at a polling place are competent to determine valid ID from fake you are deluding yourself.

Voting used to be limited to a much smaller percentage of the population...
Made it easier to supervise...
Many nations around the world require picture ID to vote.. France for example...

I find the entire argument interesting...
In China you're issued a photo ID pretty much from birth...

***photo ID is actually pretty silly.
>>>Actually, it isn't

***How did I vote. I registered to vote with the county and on election day I went in an voted. Signed a line on a book and was given a ballot. I filled it out and put it in a locked collection box and that was voting.
>>>As it should be and was. Photo ID just is more secure. Do you have a problem with being secure?

***Where I liv no I went in and registered to vote and they send me a ballot, I fill it out, sign the envelope it is put into and return it. A lot of security because my signature must match the signature on file and they check it before they open the envelope.
>>>And you actually believe that all absentee or mail in votes are anywhere near that credible. If so, I'll bet you still believe in the tooth fairy and the Easter bunny.

Before photo ID--People were God fearing-honest Americans citizens-who would never have elected someone who hid in his basement and lied all the time about everything--Had a Fake Dr. for a wife-- to make people think she was a medical Dr.--The writing will be on the wall soon enough???

I live in a small community were every body knows just about everyone else. That's why voting is done by precinct .outsiders stand out. But now anything goes . Photo IDs just keep honest people honest. Like the lock on your front door.
