somehow the fascists who demanded an ID let her vote....those dirty ID demanding bastards of the EU.....rightist racists!!!

she voted for my favorite---Beppe Grillo...the comedian....anti-establishment candidate.

Just fascinating to watch people defend the idea voters should not have to produce an ID to vote...

Voter fraud is probably more of a problem then we think. Here in the US as well. I just became a dual citizen with Italy. I knew my paperwork went through when I received all of the candidates and documents for the Parliamentary elections in the mail. I don't even have my Italian Passport yet! Although, I am a dual citizen. I get my passport on two weeks. I became a dual citizen for two reasons: One: I was a candidate and could. (My mom was born before her parents were naturalized Americans) So, I did. Two: I did it for my daughter. She will always have that and it will either be a benefit or not. Maybe she'll do a semester abroad as a citizen of Italy-who knows? Having an ID card for voting would seem to make some sense.
