But getting on an airplane is not a fundamental right essential to our democracy. Voting is.

In fact, before the government overreacted to 9/11, an ID wasn't required to get on an airplane, just a ticket..

I have to show my I D every time I get on an airplane, even more than once. Voting is certainly much more important than simply getting on an airplane.

Iowa has one of the best voting systems in the country.  I have been a poll worker for 16 years and we have never had a fraud problem.  Voting fraud is a felony and carries a prison sentence.  If the would be voter's name is not listed in our records then, they must  prove where they live with a rent receipt, utility bill or a passport.  People who do not have driver's licenses because of age or who do not own a car are examples of voters who do not have id cards.  Why is it that it is aways republicans who bring this up?  And, why is it that in 16 years I have never seen a Democrat poll watcher.  They are always republicans.   Jerry

Sierra Club opposes voters having to show an ID. The article mentions that voter fraud is almost non existent.
