    That’s the thing, it’s not just about non citizens voting. It’s also about preventing people from filling out absentee ballots in other people names and dropping them off in ballot boxes. It simply prevents a lot of fraud from happening

      … That doesn’t even make sense. I’m convinced now that you have no clue what you are talking about.

      This is about registration, not absentee ballots. If someone requests an absentee ballot, they are already registered. In many states, absentee ballots need to be requested on an individual basis, and if someone requests a ballot, they are going to take the time to fill it out and return it. In some states they can request a second if they changed their mind (or even go in and vote in person), but all ballots are tracked and only the last one is counted.

      Nobody is going to give their absentee ballot away for someone else to fill out. And there are no piles of ballots waiting for ACORN to fill them out using names from the phone book.
