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.
To be fair, I’m now (well recently, little late now) being told that we can’t trust the machines to be accurate make sure you vote early by mail yadda yadda Trump blah blah, so who knows.
But more to the point, have you ever done anything and not gotten caught? Tree falls in the woods and all. It’s not like voting for Bruce Campbell leaves behind evidence that I’m not Steve, they are not checking the cameras, Steve isn’t just gonna haul off and vote by surprise, he’s not dead unless I haven’t been informed of a tragic accident today, nobody even knows a crime occurred but me, how do you count that in your stats? You don’t.
Yeah apparently.
I’d imagine more than you’d think, I’m not Neo I just say my name is Steve and they say “here you go Steve” and then I say “thank you have a nice day” and leave. It’s exactly like the process for voting regularly, I’m just not the guy I say I am, it isn’t rocket surgery.
