I believe that just because someone shows up at the voting booth, it doesn’t automatically qualify them to be legitimate voters. I think it’s not unreasonable to provide proof that you are qualified.

"The best argument against democracy is a 5 minute conversation with the average voter."--churchill.
I recall hearing a women saying at a polling station, "To hell with the Liberals, this time I am voting for Menzies."
(Menzies was the founder of the Liberal party)
and seeing young women being guided into a ps fearful and shaking as they had to vote and didnt know who to vote for. (and had never noticed the path of their country in years.

In my state you can't just show up to vote. You have to register, and the state records what district you are in, and your name is on a book you have to sign before you get a ballot if you don't use the official mail in ballot.

Well......I'm 47, balding, pretty much a snow white beard......and I can't buy a beer in most of the establishments in town with showing my ID. So ya.........a legal form if ID to vote should be a common sense no-brainer.
