And enforce national photo ID finally, like all other countries. I know this is a REP take, but they are absolutely correct in this particular issue.

- fabian2k 1y agoIn other countries everyone has an ID automatically. That is a requirement to use IDs for voting. You need a proper national ID system, not the hodgepodge of random identity documents the US uses.
- lucideer 1y ago> In other countries everyone has an ID automatically (Splitting hairs here but) this isn't true: in some countries, but not all. In some countries ID is an optional document you only need to acquire if you want to drive, vote or travel internationally.
- aweiland 1y agoCorrect on the idea maybe, but their implementation schemes are designed to disenfranchise those less likely to vote for them.
- Yizahi 1y agoI heard this concern and looking at the MAGA it is totally believable. But really, how can a country disenfranchise anyone, if they will issue a mandatory national ID? If it is not national (state or lower) or if it not mandatory (voluntary and/or paid for), then I can see parth for corruption. But if it is mandatory national document, issued to every citizen without exception and only to citizens, then I honestly don't see where the corruption may happen. If anything, USA SSNs are much bigger vector of corruption, a proven vector of corruption, but again, like with FPTP no one bats the eye.
- jcarrano 1y agoI don't believe that. Even in the most backward places where people can barely read they can manage to get an ID. If anything, it would have a leveling effect, by decoupling the voter id from things like driving, which have nothing to do with voting.
