iirc, they use other people as verification. When a child is born, the parent has to get them registered at the local council office. And then when my first card was made at 18, my dad went with me as verification, he attested that I was ch

I feel this same issue was behind Brexit. Some people in the UK had the same 'oh no we are being outnumbers' sort of mentality, and without mandatory ID, they had no sane voice in their head to tell them 'don't be silly,

Exactly, we self inflicted these wounds. We aren't that bright, really.

No, I think that's just a republican boogie-man. I think democrats started out with good intentions, helping enfranchise black voters a part of the civil rights act .... but somehow they have made it their morality point and refuse to

I am not ignoring it, That disenfranchisement is deliberate, and NOT as a consequence of voter-ID. Our government and population WANT to disenfranchise them, we WANT to be bigoted against them, and if photo-ID didn't exist, voter rolls

And? That's bigotry, a totally different issue from accessibility. The population WANTS this piece of bigotry, heck our ancestors voted for the damn thing it, it's literally the 2nd amendment of our the constitution. You can'

The US is not a monolith, it's a collection of 50 states.... Democratic states collect taxes and implement policy independently, they CAN do this, at least in their own areas. Start there first!

I don't think they are a moron, I feel it's a deliberate 'oopsie tee hee' type of thing, where they cleaned enough to pretend they did some due diligence, but still left enough to allow people to verify its authenticity.
