The integrity of our vote is much greater than any of the issues you brought up. Every issue you have against a national ID can be solved easily.
As many have mentioned the USPS could serve as the backbone with ID cards being printed in kiosks on the spot. The USPS already provides the means for obtaining your passport.
It's not clear to me why anyone falls for the rhetoric of ID's suppressing or disenfranchising voters, it's a lot of partisan nonsense. "Someone think of the homeless and disabled elderly, how will they vote" when we all know the reality is they don't.
- Volundr 5y ago> The integrity of our vote is much greater than any of the issues you brought up. The integrity of our vote includes ensuring every eligible voter is able to do so without obstacles. As far as I can tell this is currently the primary threat to the integrity of the vote we are facing. > Every issue you have against a national ID can be solved easily. Great let's solve it then! As mentioned actually solve those issues instead of hand waving them away and I'll be pro-voter ID. But as far as I can tell no one is trying to solve them, especially not the people currently pushing voter ID. > As many have mentioned the USPS could serve as the backbone Not everyone has a USPS nearby. Not everyone has a car to drive there. I don't accept denying these people the vote. > "Someone think of the homeless and disabled elderly, how will they vote" when we all know the reality is they don't. Your reality is news to me, and I don't accept that it's okay to make it hard for anyone to vote just because you don't think they want to.
