The Illinois Senate voted 38-18 on [November 16] to override Gov. Bruce Rauner's veto of an automatic voter registration bill.
The bill [...] would automatically register voters who are seeking a new or updated license, or who are seeking other services from state departments such as Human Services or Healthcare and Family Services.
[...]The only two things a citizen should need to vote is being 18 years old and a citizen.
[...]The bill received bipartisan support when it passed through the House by a vote of 86-30 and the Senate with a vote of 42-16.
[...]To fully override Rauner's veto, the Illinois House will also have to vote to override, but it will not back in session until Nov. 29.

You still haven't answered why states instituting these very logical voter ID laws have left such a gaping hole in the absentee ballot system.
Judging by your most recent reply, I assume you are one of the newer breed of academics that are easily-triggered and simply ignores any argument for which you do not have an answer. I'm a little more old-school, as it were.
You are still welcome on my lawn.
