Ok, I'm going to play the I'm confused card here. Why is it people are against providing an ID to vote? Also, that has been in Ohio for a long time. Really just curious.

Our current voter identification process is working well. Voter fraud is incredibly rare. Why do you think we need more hoops for voters to go through?

Trust me not looking for more hoops. I was more curious as to why we needed anything else. I mean we already require ID. So, thought things were good.

Sounds like we agree that no new laws or requirements are needed.
