May 02, 2008"Voting Rights Are Too Important to Leave to the States"Adam Cohen has written this Editorial Observer column for the NY Times. Most notable among Adam's suggestions for federal legislation: "The patchwork of state ID laws should be replaced by a single standard that allows people to present any of an array of identification, including college IDs, and permits voters to sign an affidavit if they do not have ID." [Disclosure: I had a conversation with Adam about some of the ideas in this column.] |
