How else are they going to know if you are who you say you are?

What if polling place infringements need to be documented? As long as we are discussing this, I don't understand why polling places are now not allowed to ask for identification. That would seem to me to be an important part of freedom and voting rights. If you don't identify yourself at a particular polling place, what is to keep you from voting over and over at other polling places or to keep another from voting in your place? And we are trying to teach the people of Afghanistan how to register and vote in a democratic society? Maybe we need to learn more about insuring one vote for one person! Democracy has run amuck here but I'm not sure where it's any better! I'm about ready to dig my cave and become a hermit (but global warming will result in my cave being flooded soon).
