I hope voter IDs become mandatory in the near future, but it's got to be rolled out ethically:
1. They have to be free
2. They have to be "accessible" for the rural population
3. They have to be adequately communicated in advance of elections (1+ years, not 1+ months)
4. The process needs to be simple - require proof of citizenship or an ID that requires proof of citizenship.
I think there'd be no problem with having a few people stationed in post offices to do this. I'd imagine a fair amount of supporters would volunteer to do it if it meant improving the integrity of our elections.
