Your post is a logical fallacy - it assumes that other countries have the same history, laws, political structure and modern problems as the US does, which is a verifiably false assumption. Your list is also flat out wrong. Voters in Canada are not required to have ID. Your list is also without sources and presenting an oversimplification of laws to the point of being presented in bad faith, with intentional misrepresentation of the original data. Your list is a lie of checkmarks, intended for propaganda and not to inform the reader.

I didn’t say a single one of those things. You just made some big assumptions. Tell me more about Canada, this implies you may be mistaken. https://www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=vot&dir=ids&document=index&lang=e https://www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=vot&dir=ids&do...

  I don't understand what you're saying at all. From your link, Option 3: > Option 3: If you don't have ID lays it out pretty clearly: > You can still vote if you declare your identity and address in writing and have someone who knows you and who is assigned to your polling station vouch for you. No ID needed, anywhere in Canada, ever, to vote. Period. And I made no assumptions whatsoever in my post. It is your graphic that is full of false assumptions.

    That person needs ID to be assigned to their polling station to vouch for you. You’re being very stubborn. Canada very effectively requires ID to vote, sorry that offends you.

      I really, really don't understand. Where did you get this information?? It is false - it is lies. > That person needs ID to be assigned to their polling station to vouch for you. That is absolutely not true. The site says, > The voucher must be able to prove their identity and address. A person can vouch for only one person (except in long-term care institutions). Nothing about ID. Just "prove their identity and address", which does not require ID. > Canada very effectively requires ID to vote, sorry that offends you. This is false. I am not offended by facts, or by your lies. Canada does not require ID to vote. You are spreading lies by continuing to state that it does. Have you ever lived there? Do you know anything about Canada from experience? You are lying and citing false information to claim falsehoods that are extremely dangerous. Canada does not require ID to vote. Period.
