There are also elderly people who don’t drive. I think a utility bill establishing residence or a passport would suffice just as well, wouldn’t they?

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.
