Having to register to vote is the other thing that could be removed as a barrier to vote.
Re: the lack of fraud: people obviously believe (or say they believe) this is a problem. So it (giving everyone free and easy access to ID and then requiring it to vote) seems like a trivial fix to that problem of trust. I realize it’s solving a problem that might not exist, but once everyone has ID it’s an easy decision, and there are other possible benefits of having more IDs.
- jeffbee 5y agoSure, do it. But before you require the IDs at the polls. Seriously the days when a black mother was not allowed into a hospital and was refused a birth certificate by their county was only 50 years ago. Pretending like this isn't discriminatory isn't helping.
