No ID? Maryland gins up voters, and potential fraud

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Lowering the bar for voting while raising the opportunity for fraud, a Maryland task force wants to “modernize” the state’s online registration process — and much more.

Maryland already has some of the loosest election rules in the nation. No ID is required to vote. Effective this month, individuals can register online by inputting a name, birth date and the last four digits of their Social Security number.

The Right to Vote Task Force seeks to knock down even those rules. The Montgomery County panel — 10 Democrats, three Republicans, one independent and one Green Party member appointed by the County Council — would not require proof of legal residency to register.

This is just ludicrous! Even to cash my own check at my own bank I need to show an ID! To elect the people who will decide not only my future but my descendants futer to be left to unchecked voting is rediculous.And I don't buy this crap that it is unfair to the poor for they need some form of ID to do most anything else ie. library card, public assistance, cash a check from anyone, rent anything etc. !
