act affect available bad commission concerns credit data direct election eligible evidence factor federal forcing history id inadequate instantly law licenses likelihood link monitor mortgage national personal range shown states turns tying voter voting wide
Tying voter ID requirements to the REAL ID Act is bad for voting and for privacy, ... There's scant evidence that inadequate voter ID is a factor in election fraud.

We're approaching the use of biometrics very, very cautiously, ... We feel that the technology is not even close to the accuracy being claimed by some of these companies. As such, there will be thousands of false negatives and false positives when you scale up the millions of travelers.
