Mexico requires a photo ID from the National Elections Center and stains your thumb so you can’t vote twice.

    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.

    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.

  5. Yes we should take advice from Mexico, they are the bastion of free democratic elections!
