Please maintain the existing requirement for Voter Identification
 

Have been a poll watcher and precinct chairman I have monitored the validation of Virginia voter registrations. This process has served us well and the requiring of a photo ID readily available to anyone through the DMV who deserves on is an easy requirement to meet. There is no reason to reduce the requirements for validating citizenship or, for that matter, verifying that the individual is eligible to vote based on his police record (no felonies).
