Yes, but why? If the government gives an ID to everybody, there is no discrimination or suppression. Most countries have voter ID and do just fine. This would do a lot to prevent voter fraud, which is far more common than most seem to think. I keep seeing stories of dead people voting, people voting multiple times, and noncitizens voting. These are just the cases that are discovered and receive press coverage; there must be plenty of cases that the public doesn't hear about.
- SAI_Peregrinus 9y agoThe US doesn't give ID to everybody. Not only is it handled by the states but you have to pay for the ID, and spend several hours on a business day at a DMV. This puts ID out of the range of easy availability for many people.
- zimpenfish 9y agoAlso some ... shall we say less than fair counties and states do things like "voter registration is only available at DMV X in OtherSideOfStateTown on the third Tuesday of the month between 1400 and 1430". I wouldn't dare suggest this was a way of specifically trying to disenfranchise the poorer, Democrat-leaning demographic.
