Voters in Tulsa County USA are facing the prospect of requiring a state supplied voter photo ID card in order to vote in elections. The new steps, approved by residents on November 2nd put forward that voters would be required to show a government issued photo ID card before they are permitted to fill in a ballot paper, or even before they are issued with a ballot paper.
Looking to get your id cards designed and developed online then get in touch with photoidcardpeople, they provide wide varieties of id cards online at very affordable rates.
Had this been the end of the arrangement, it would have represented a successful implementation of the much championed photo ID card system for residents, halting the identity theft trend of recent years. However, because cards are not given freely, but are instead given at a monetary cost to the voter, some are seeing this move as an “unconstitutional poll tax”.
Additionally, the theoretically watertight “government issued photo ID card” concept has some inbuilt flaws; voters are permitted to use “county election board voters’ cards” as identification, a type of card that is given freely but can easily be stolen and used by a criminal to pass them self off as the legitimate voter.
Photoidcardpeople offers a wide range of bespoke cards to choose from. Design your own bespoke personalised cards at photoidcardpeople online.
A third issue with the system is that voters can vote with provisional ballots if they sign an affidavit that puts forward that they are who they claim to be. These require no form of ID, but simply a signature instead; this meaning that theoretically anyone can vote in another person’s name.
So essentially what could be a wonderful idea, using a government issued photo ID card system, is effectively ruined by a range of loopholes and lax identification issues that, if sorted, could result in the most secure voting system available at this point in time. It remains to be seen what will happen in Tulsa County, and it will be watched with great interest by all.
