WRT this voter ID issue: Americans hate to show their I.D.

And Americans hate to be fucked with when they are voting.

Personally, I find the idea that hotels ask for my I.D.—even when I'm paying with cash—to be rather oppressive. And the idea of living in, um, a country like Europe, wherein the cops could stop one on the street and ask for "papers," fills me with loathing.

But voting is a solemn thing; it's at the core of democracy. And voter fraud is intolerable. We've got to allow states to put safeguards in place. Yeah, yeah: Chicago will be especially hard hit if voter fraud goes out of fashion. But somehow I think the Windy City—and the rest of us—will soldier on.
