National ID wouldn't change that unless voter local registration and change-of-address updates were all rigidly and securely integrated.

Pfft. Real hoopy froods play Heroclix.

I do not play Heroclix but I bought some about 20 years ago.

Jesus christ 20 years? Huh. Also I didn't notice but it was discontinued in 2008.
