No one has trouble getting an ID. You need an ID to drive, to work, to open a bank account, to buy liquor or tobacco, etc. The idea that someone can’t get an ID

- habinero 9mo agoIt's not. Plenty of people do none of those things.
- robomartin 9mo agoNot a problem. We should pay for them to get proper identification. This is likely an infinitesimally small percentage of the population qualified to vote. As the other commenter said, you need identification for most important things in life. Yet, again, if someone does not have ID and they want to vote, it should be easy and free. If they can't drive, we pay for an Uber. If they don't understand the process, we pay for a coach. Etc. This is the kind of process that reduces to zero over time. If you process 100K people on year one, there might only be a couple of thousand people the following year...and down to zero it goes.
- habinero 9mo agoVoting is much more fundamental to a democracy than Uber lmao, therefore it's worth it to make the effort to make sure as many people as possible can participate. We have essentially ~no voter fraud in the US, so the only reason to change it is because you want to prevent other people from voting for selfish reasons.
