The whole world besides Anglo countries is using photo ID to vote. The article basically says people don't have a way to get it in 10 mile radius which is ridiculous. You really think you get ID in Germany everywhere in 10 mile radius? No, you take a bus to nearest city that offers these services.

- Cerium 6y agoWhole world? Seems that there are plenty of locations that simply mark your thumb to vote, no ID needed. [1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Election_ink https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Election_ink

- kosievdmerwe 6y agoFalse, in South Africa you have to pre-register to vote at a precinct with a photo ID, then on election day you have to show your photo ID to vote at the place you pre-registered for. After you've voted they mark your thumb with the ink as a secondary (or tertiary) security measure. I'm honestly not going to check every country on the list, but it's blatantly false in South Africa where I've voted before. And I'm going to bet it's false for a lot of other countries on that list too, like India.
