... except the technology that makes the IDs more complex is really the same technology that allows people to make fraudulent IDs.
Also, dead people voting will happen via fake ID anyway ... that's straight-up a different issue than a de facto poll tax.

2.) As an aside - I hate the current primary system and wish we could go to one nationwide primary on one day instead of this long, drawn out process which puts too much power in the hands of certain voters.

Oh, like those oh-so-powerful Iowa voters, who have correctly predicted the president by the winner in their primaries two times in history? (New Hampshire has a similarly shitty record)
