    Yeah, but that's OK, because people with enough money to afford a high-quality fake ID aren't the people we're trying to stop from voting.

    Yeah, I like doing that, too. Polling locations are the temples of democracy. I support vote by mail, early voting, etc., but none of those are for me. I like to walk to the polls, see my neighbors, talk to the candidate supporters holding signs, vote, and buy a brownie from bake sale afterward.

    We had an election on 9/11/01 to replace a deceased Congressman. The polls stayed up, we went to vote, and I felt like I was flipping a giant bird at the terrorists.
