I've voted many times in the US without having to show ID.
Here's California: "In most cases, a California voter is not required to show identification to a polling place worker before casting a ballot."

- jjeaff 3y agoThis is true, but not the whole story. You do have to have some form of ID when you register to vote. But not necessarily a photo ID. A utility bill or something similar to verify that you live where you say you live. Then they match SSN and some other stuff like that. It's a system that can be somewhat easily cheated on a small scale, but would be very difficult to do on a large scale without getting caught. I would encourage anyone who thinks voter fraud is a big problem in the US to learn about how voting verification works in your state and try to come up with hypothetical ways that someone might cheat to gain a few hundred illicit votes. I think you will find it completely untenable and highly risky. Which is why we have had so few voter fraud problems over the years.
