Ok, there's my list, and I'm quite urban.  Note that I'm not saying that I don't provide information -- such as my name and address, only that I was not required to provide a government issued ID of the type that has been discussed re: voting.

But voting doesn’t require an ID.

If you oppose a law requiring showing an ID in order to vote, then you are for voter fraud. There is no other plausible reason. [/quote][/quote]
