A few weeks ago, I posted about my experience voting in the primary election here in New Hampshire. I was upset that I was allowed to both register and vote without ever having to show ID. The election officials didn't seem to care whether I was really who I said I was or lived where I said I did.
Ann Althouse, guest-blogging at Instapundit, says the same thing happened to her son in Wisconsin. I have read similar accounts elsewhere, and I have a growing feeling that this is the norm--that our elections are wide open to fraud and abuse. It's imperative that we fix this. It undermines our entire system of government both directly and through the perception of corruption.
Time to write some letters to newspapers as well as national, state, and local representatives.
