WE ALREADY HAVE TO HAVE ID TO VOTE, what do you think voter registration is? In every single state you have to, get this, register to vote. You don’t just walk into a polling station and just say give me a ballot. No they certify your citizenship BEFOREHAND. THAT’S WHY PEOPLE ARE ON THE VOTER ROLLS TO BEGIN WITH!
It’s not inefficient, they check that you are a citizen before it’s even time to vote You don’t need to prove anything at the voting location generally. Because how much of a hassle would it be if you had to prove you’re a citizen the day you go to vote? Can you imagine how long that would take? It’s like pre-registering for anything.
The problem is too many women and minorities vote for the opposite party so they want to make laws that take away their rights without explicitly saying that is what they are doing.
You have a really hard time listening to anything but your singular republican “I don’t see what’s so wrong about providing ID” talking point.
The problem you’re ignoring every time you paste that reddit republican shit is that republicans are trying to restrict what ID counts as a proper ID and have selected passports. Since they’re a federal ID instead of a state ID, the trump-controlled federal government can restrict how they’re issued. And selectively revoke them from people that republicans don’t want voting.
Plus, they’re expensive and time consuming to get. It’s a de facto poll tax, and I’m sure you have a talking point about how poll taxes aren’t so bad either.
I’ll spell it out for you. I am not glued to yankee media. So no, I’m not reiterating “Republican talking points” or “pasting” from them. I’m just reacting to what I’m reading in this thread and what I’ve seen from some British media which has a similar discussion.
I’m sure you have a talking point about how poll taxes aren’t so bad either.

Sounds maddening and inefficient. I still don’t see a problem with requiring proper ID when casting the ballot.

Its required. You hand them your driver’s license (photo ID) when you walk in.
In the US?
Yes
Then I have a really hard time seeing what the problem is.

LOL. Insufferable. Bye.
Republican talking points don’t politely stop at the water’s edge. British media will happily print them.
