First things first, I don’t doubt it is a bad thing, considering who supports it and who doesn’t.
But my question is what exactly is the issue and what is the current and proposed voting process when it comes to IDs?
Here in my EU country, you have to show some version of a government ID, be it an ID card, drivers license or passport. And we don’t have to pre-register to vote.
Because it’s not a problem, and implementing voter id comes with additional costs.
The current setup works and is cheap.
Don’t you have to register to vote and a bunch of other things? Like they kick you and you have to re-register and some other shenanigans. Sounds like a mess.
thats for republican states that are purging voters, because they are close to potentially lose elections. and htey will do that.
Republicans are doing most of the kicking right now. Registration is fairly simple though. On the web you provide an ID and some info. You can call or pick up a registration form from any government building.
It varies from each state though, which is appropriate considering the constitution says states handle voting.
Wait, you provide… An ID??? Now I understand less.
