Tell that to Americans who are against having an ID to vote

In practice, voter ID schemes are used to disenfranchise citizens. https://www.brennancenter.org/issues/ensure-every-american-can-vote/vote-suppression/voter-id https://www.brennancenter.org/issues/ensure-every-american-c...
- Test0129 4y agoThe greater point, I think, is that everywhere else in American where I deal with the government I am required to present some form of ID. They even give you a list of a dozen or more valid IDs you can use. However, arguably the most important interface with the government, voting is a place where I don't even have to validate I am who I say I am. Seems strange to me.
