If it's pure fascist voter supression then whole Europe takes part of it as well? Besides the UK I guess who are similar to Americans when it comes to voting.

Every single argument against their current system and arguments against ID is what we all do here? Think you're too deep into their political rhetoric here and peddle misinformation.
- frosted-flakes 6y agoIt's not the same. Voter ID laws in the US specifically (but not explicitly) target black and low-income demographics, who are far more likely to not have such ID documents. If having such documents was a long-standing requirement to function in society like it is in much of Europe (as far as I've heard), then it wouldn't be as big a deal.
- Dma54rhs 6y agoAll the arguments I've read from cost to where the get them apply to Europe as well? I'm sure homeless people here as well tend to not have renewed documents if you talk about class.
- frosted-flakes 6y agoI'm sure it's still a problem everywhere on some level, but not as big of a problem as it is in the US where large swaths of the population don't have sufficient ID documents.
- PeterisP 6y agoEnforcing ID checks is essentially voter suppression if some groups of voters have them and some groups don't. In countries with universal (or even mandatory) IDs, doing the same isn't really voter suppression.
- pas 6y agoI have no problem with requiring ID, even if it helps basically nothing with election security, but sure, let's do it. But let's do it in a way that doesn't disenfranchise vulnerable/disadvantaged groups. So appropriate funds, have some transitory period, etc.
