Support the voter ID bill

I am in support of a reasonable voter ID bill.  As I read the language of HB 496 I believe it is reasonable in that if a person doesn't have an ID they can still vote by signing an affidavit. Without the safety net of the affidavit language you would likely be excluding some rightful voters, such as seniors who may not have a valid ID anymore, or anyone who didn't realize their license had expired and they didn't have alternate ID. In those cases their vote will still be counted on Election Day just like all the others and without a delay or the use of a "provisional ballot" as in some other states.
