That's one problem with voting in the US. It seems that the democrats do not want people to use ID (e.g. a drivers license) when voting. It seems quite obvious that it will prevent voter fraud. They keep pointing to Europe all the time, but then when their policies are contradictory, they're quiet about it.
- Leyths 6y agoIn countries in Europe (such as Switzerland) where all citizens are issued some form of National ID this isn't an issue. In countries such as the US, or the UK, where forms of government ID are common but not universal, passing laws requiring ID verification to vote is voter suppression. Across all groups it is the poorest that do not have a form of government ID - https://www.electoral-reform.org.uk/campaigns/upgrading-our-democracy/voter-id/ https://www.electoral-reform.org.uk/campaigns/upgrading-our-... In the UK there were 28 counts of election fraud at the 2017 election, a rate of 0.000063%. Whereas estimates of people without government ID range around 10% of the population (as of 2016, anyway) https://identityassurance.blog.gov.uk/2016/01/25/estimating-what-proportion-of-the-public-will-be-able-to-use-gov-uk-verify/ https://identityassurance.blog.gov.uk/2016/01/25/estimating-...
