Sadly, apathy has become rampant here in America when it comes to politics. People love to argue about politics but so many voters don't take the time to really analyze the candidates and their past records. A lot of folks base their decisions on what their favorite news station, celebrity, or their family tells them to believe. I think this is one reason we've found ourselves in our current rut. I think IDs should definitely be required to vote and can't imagine any good reasons not to do this. Most of the civilized world requires voter IDs already.
