[quote=Anonymous]As we all know there are different views on the issue of identification criteria for voter registration applicants. Liberals are generally opposed, conservatives favor proving your identity.
I only know Fairfax County, where I live and vote. You can apply for registration just filling in your name and address and answering a few questions about your background. When you go to vote, you will have to have a photo ID, which the election workers compare with their roster of registered voters at the precinct. So, at some point in order to vote you will need to prove who you are. 
Is this the same everywhere? If it is NOT the same everywhere, then couldn't one person register under many names with many addresses and vote many times? If it IS the same everywhere, why is it a hardship to have to show ID at the time of registering or at the time of voting? It would seem if you have the ID to vote, you would also have it to register. 
I am having trouble understanding what all the trouble is about. 
Thanks for your knowledgeable insight![/quote]
