If 10% of drivers lacked car insurance, would your solution be to remove the legal requirement to possess a valid insurance policy to operate a motor vehicle be

  No. Because operating a motor vehicle is a very dangerous activity. This a very is a poor analogy that you have here.

    Nobody ever voted someone dangerous into power? Was voting for Hitler a harmless act?
    • beej71 7mo ago
      And voter ID will fix this?
      • anonym29 7mo ago
        Does mandatory auto insurance prevent accidents from happening? If not, should we get rid of it?
        • beej71 7mo ago
          No, but it does mitigate the damage... where are we in this analogy anymore? :laughing:
          • anonym29 7mo ago
            You just answered your own question. Voter ID won't solve all the problems with illegitimate votes being cast, but it will mitigate the damage.
            • beej71 7mo ago
              Except that it will cause far more damage than it mitigates.

                Does disenfranchising felons cause damage? What is the nature of the damage? Can it be quantified in any way?

  The poor have a right to vote, while they don't have a right to operate a motor vehicle. We can debate over how disenfranchising it is to be unable to drive in the US (very), but the law makes a pretty clear distinction between these two activities.
