If you had an ID system that allowed you to get multiple unconnected IDs, what would prevent someone from getting 10 million of them and casting 10 million votes in an election? Or even just having 2 or 3 and claiming stimulus checks or welfare or disability or whatever?
Doesn't the government have to be able to uniquely identify you to even have a chance at providing services equally to everyone?
