I agree with Quynh-Nhi's commentary "A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words". A photo ID should be required when voting, and I am surprised that there is such a huge debate over this issue. Yes, it may be difficult for some to acquire a state form of identification. But then wouldn’t it also be just as difficult for that person to get to a voting booth? If you can’t put in the minimal time and effort, then you obviously are not serving as a model citizen and therefore shouldn’t be able to vote. With regards to the elderly, I do not believe that a mail-in vote should be counted. Like you mentioned, how do we know that this person isn’t deceased? Rather the state, county, or local office should implement some sort of program that can prove that the person is still alive. With state ID’s easily renewed online, there is no reason that a person cannot maintain an up-to-date ID. If minorities are trying to vote and do not have identification, I do not think they should be able to vote. Maybe this is a red flag that this person is living in the country illegally. In that case, they definitely should not have a vote. I agree with your argument. I would have liked to have had access to an article with more information. I also liked that you included policies of other states, such as Georgia and Indiana no tolerance policy. It is always a good idea to present specific cases and examples to back up your argument.
