I think the allegations of voter fraud that seem to proliferate after every national if not state and local election warrents some means of verifying the eligibility of an individual to vote in an election. The standard "joke?????" in Illinois are that Chicago encourages people to "Vote Early and Vote Often" and that candidates are always seeking the "Graveyard" vote. For the sake of our Democracy / Republic, I think people should have some assurance that their vote really means something.

Might even work to place a mandatory fine of some huge amount ($100,000 or $1,000,000) if you're caught fraudulently voting, and, possibly a jail term of 5 or 10 years PER illegal vote with no chance for parole (although I'd hate to pay the cost of keeping them in jail).
