Can we use this for voter ID?

You have to show ID to vote in my country, I thought that was the normal thing.

In the United States, leftists fight as hard as they can for an insecure and unverified voting process.

Very very few people actually fundamentally disagree with the core idea of identification to vote.

The problem is the act of getting the ID itself. In most (all?) states getting an ID is not free, takes time, and if you lost everything will require jumping through a lot of hoops.

If getting an ID was actually simple, free, and not time consuming than we could have a genuine discussion about ID requirements. But until that point it is very thinly veiled classism and racism.

Also the numbers just simply don't back up this being a serious issue to begin with.

TLDR: Fix the fundamental issues with having identification in the first place and we can talk.
