Meanwhile in other countries... Secure, easy-to-obtain, IDs since several decades.
Also, an ID is required to vote and since it is secure you don't need any silly voter registration (which is just suppression in the guise of verification).
- themagician 4y agoThe current system (without Real ID) isn't really any less "secure". All Real ID does is force you to show a citizenship document to travel. It's designed to put pressure on illegal immigrants to self deport and punish States like California for who issue driver's licenses to non-citizens. There is no automatic reason that Real ID would even be required to vote, since voting is left up to the states anyway. If the state says you can use a business card to vote then you can.
