A national voter ID program will simplify and legitimize all participants in election system. Key to this proposal is that it is done under the control of the Federal Government funded by our tax dollars. This should be a duty free service provided to all legal citizens who are eligible to vote . The Federal Government should be able to use this data base to cross reference other databases to determine eligibility. The agency that controls this ID system should work closely with the States to stream line their own voting practices. This program will not only help reduce overall costs to elections, but promote more trust and fairness in our election system.
