There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with requiring an ID to vote.

[@justincenter4061]

Except that it requires money and transportation to get an ID. Remove those obsticles and you would be correct. Also, prevent DMVs from shutting down in the months leading up to elections. That practice allows politicans to select their voters, instead of the other way around.

[@CrazennCajunn]

It takes less than $50 and almost all DMVs are located within walking distance of a bus stop. People have bikes too. The #1 factor in not having a standard ID is lack of perceived necessity.

Precisely. Politicians want to be able to cheat to ensure they stay in power and if you step out of line in any way because they have taken your ability to vote them out away... if you try to take direct action against them you will be cut off from the system. This will be possible through movement passports (stage one is vaccine restricted movement privileges) able to due to the technocratic control grid set up by 5G internet of things and government / corporate surveillance.

The problem with requiring IDs to vote is that IDs are a mechanism that helps to prevent voter fraud. Detractors will lie by saying that signatures are being checked for every vote thus making IDs redundant; however, many ballots are counted that don't have any signatures at all. If we are to have actual elections, this redundancy is necessary. Without IDs, our current election system is as broken as Uganda's.

[@UtdG01]

most other countries do it, funny enough I even read recently that if the person is financially unable to get an ID some states will provide it free lol...so its quite obvious that the arguments made against these requirements are definitely coming from a place of ill-intent. most (damn near all) countries also don't even use mail-in ballots as many outright reject it for the sole reason it 'encourages' fraud...your entire system, if viewed objectively, is set up to facilitate fraudulent activity on a large scale...its a dumpsterfire

[@BenjiPOTF]

@@rachelguyer8447 She was making a point that you need an ID for everything and that voter ID laws dont affect people any more than whats already there for everyday life. You need an ID to drive, if your out of money ask a friend or relative if they can spot you the ID replacement cost till you get paid. I lived in poverty for 20 years. There were lots of times I couldn't even rely on family but I always left some money for emergency, never once did I bug my family for money for something like a replacement ID.

[@MACDRU421]

Funny that the alcohol, tobacco, and rental laws she mentioned don’t require government ID. She lied. You can sell both tobacco and alcohol to anyone you believe to be of age without ID. I can also rent to anyone without a government ID, but I can also require them to show me ID if I want.

[@richardokeefe7410]

​ @MACDRU421 Here, there are three acceptable forms of ID, and all of them are government-issued (driving licence, passport, and 18+ card). This applies to both alcohol and tobacco. The US is weird. The National Minimum Driviing Age Act (I hope I got that right) is part of the Federal Highway Code, but it doesn't *force* states to accept that limit, just twists their arms in a friendly way if they don't. It insist that the age of a purchaser *be* 21 or above but doesn't say how to *prove* it. States can and do set their own rules -- are you sure that the rules are not as she said in her own state? And of course vendors are allowed to set their own stricter rules. Apparently some places do not accept military IDs. S**ks to be a soldier. As I read the law, it has nothing to do with what you *believe* the purchaser's age to be, but only what it *is*. When I rented a place in California back in the 80s I had to show my passport, but that was then.
