The thing amounts to a poll tax. But in some states (Florida, Ohio, Texas, Georgia) it doesn't matter whether you vote or not, because the machines are rigged and the election boards are corrupt.

I have a co-worker that came from Mexico and was able to vote in the last presidential election LEGALLY after her citizenship became effective. She was so excited about the process of being able to "voice her opinion", which by the way was for Bush(which endeared her to me immediately)! She told me that so many of her "people" had been voting illegally for years, long before they attained citizenship. Guess which party they generally cast their votes for? Personally, I think the idea of having to show multiple ID is not a bad idea. I do not have a problem carrying my Social Security card, picture ID - for that matter, whatever else they might ask for when I go to the polls. At least that way we could know that we are getting votes from people that have the right to vote! How many of our elections have been skewed by illegal aliens tossing their ballots in under the radar? On voter fraud…

In fact, I was writing about it before I started the site. Here, for example, is a <a href="http://www.seanet.com/~jimxc/Politics/Cols/Q&A.html" rel="nofollow">Q&A</a> I did shortly after the 2000 election. It has some discussion of the problems of fraud in Florida, though I would add quite a bit to it now. I have been thinking about doing a new summary piece that adds the new evidence. If I do, I'll try to remember to email you about it. The Florida chapter of Fund's book, "Stealing Elections" has a fair amount of material, including this from page 35: "In the confusion and chaos after the 2000 election, an anomaly occurred that many people believe ended up costing George W. Bush thousands of votes in Palm Beach. it appears that as many as 15,000 votes may have been altered and subtracted from the Bush total in Palm Beach County." (Several pages of evidence follow.) I had arrived at about the same number independently, by the way. And the returns last year provided more evidence for Fund's argument, since Bush's vote rebounded to about what one would predict, given the Republican registration in the county. As for electronic voting machines, I oppose them and have said so on my site. Not because they can't be made reasonably safe, but because a large minority will never believe that they are safe. Instead I favor using one set of machines to print paper ballots and another entirely separate set of machines to count those ballots. (And I would allow those who want to challenge an election to bring in their own machines to do recounts.) Again, this is something I have discussed on my site. Mark Kleiman's remark suggests to me that he is not familiar with the history of vote fraud in this country. Bruce – The problem of vote fraud is something I write about regularly on my web site.

Including Safire and Miller, whose mistakes were vastly larger than Krugman's, but draw no comment at all from you.
