Voter ID Laws Protect the Integrity of the Ballot Box

(Excerpts from May 21, 2012 from http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ken-blackwell/voter-id-laws_b_1370676.html, Ken Blackwell and Ken Klukowski).

Protecting the integrity of the ballot box is essential to our democracy. Laws requiring voters to show identification at the polls are commonsense measures to prevent fraud and corruption, and ensure that each year's election returns accurately reflect the will of the people.

Voting is unique as a constitutional right. First, the right to cast a ballot includes a corollary right not to have your legal vote canceled by someone else's fraud. You have the right to have your undiluted vote counted.

Florida Voter ID Legal Requirement

(retrieved from http://election.dos.state.fl.us/voting/voting-info.shtml)

At the polls, you will be asked to provide a valid picture identification with signature. The following photo ids will be accepted:
  • Florida driver’s license
  • Florida identification card issued by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles
  • United States passport
  • Debit or credit card
  • Military identification
  • Student identification
  • Retirement center identification
  • Neighborhood association identification
  • Public assistance identification.

If your photo identification does not contain your signature, you will be asked to provide an additional identification that includes a signature.
If you do not have the proper identification, you will be provided with a provisional ballot. Your provisional ballot will count if the signature on the provisional ballot envelope matches the signature on your voter registration application.
