Here's my solution to ending the "Voter ID" controversy

[Dan Druff]

The link showing four states was from 2001. I saw that same link when looking for it myself.

Here's a forum discussion from 2010 where a bunch of people chime in about whether their individual states require fingerprints: https://www.thehighroad.org/index.ph...prints.498126/

You'll see a mixture of "yes" and "no" for various states, including those not on the original list of four you saw.

I have to imagine that even more are requiring it in 2019, given that the number seems to have vastly increased from 2001 to 2010. It's possible that terrorist concerns after 2001 had something to do with this.

Read the first sentence in the link....it says "Is there a state that doesn't require fingerprints in order to get a concealed carry license".

Whoops. Misread that shit on my phone. But it is still true that the article you saw is from 2001, so I really want to see current info on that.

California also has like 1/9 of the country's population, so that's already a healthy chunk of the country with fingerprints on file by itself. Honestly it's no big deal. I normally hate any privacy intrusion shit, but fingerprinting doesn't matter unless you're planning upon committing major crimes.

An alternate solution could involve using your existing ID *or* getting fingerprinted for a voter ID. In fact, that would make more sense and be a lot easier/cheaper to implement.

Still LOL at anyone who advocates continuing the current honors system voting we have.
