Yahtzee. Notice it says photo ID and citizenship. It does not say digital ID.

Anyone who has ever voted in the US knows that your information is checked against state voting records. Records are kept when a vote is cast, making it quite difficult for a person to cast two two votes in the same district.
They could potentially cast a provisional ballot if their identity can’t be verified. That’s a ballot that is kept separately from non-provisional ballots and only counted when they’re verified the voter’s identity.
There exists no measurable vote fraud in the US. Nothing that would swing elections.
The GOP’s lame attempts at throwing shade on our elections does nothing but undermine our democracy. John Thune can go suck an egg.

I would be completely OK with this as long as the President Elections have the same exact rules and regulations for every state and county. Since this naturally violates State rights, most Conservatives would be against this in Red states.
The key is it would have to done in every county and I would wage someone will find exceptions somehow.

Whatever happened to the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity that Trump established in 2017?
Did they ever end up finding any fraudulent votes?
He claimed that there were 3-5 MILLION fraudulent votes
I mean he made a commission to investigate that, and you paidnfor it– what were the findings?

The policy could be fine in the abstract. It is not fine in the present because we know 100% that barriers are being put in place to prevent people from getting id. And even people who do have ID it may not be sufficient – for example every woman who changed their name as part of a marriage and doesn’t have all of the paperwork handy in time to vote.

Cool make photo IDs free and have locations everywhere to process them.
There isn’t a DMV in my town. I have to drive an hour one way to go to a DMV office. Passport/social security office? 2 to 3 hours away.

The US should copy their voting regulations
A large majority of US citizens believe that you should show photo ID, and be a citizen, to vote in elections.

Now we need to limit mail in ballots.
