  • I’m not gonna lie here… as someone who lives in a country that requires photo ID when voting, I am more upset with the fact that you guys don’t have a national ID of some kind that is issued for free to everyone regardless of whether they can drive or not. This is a preexisting vulnerability that he’s exploiting.

    EDIT: “In most cases, you will need either a driver’s license or a state ID to register to vote. If you do not have either of these, you may be able to provide other types of documentation, including a bank statement or utility bill. But the required documents you need to register vary by state. Check with your state’s election office to find out what documentation they accept.”

    I see some states may have made an attempt at it? Also, how does a utility bill or a bank statement prove your citizenship in the US? Are they getting information about your citizenship from your bank? I assume non-citizens are allowed to open a bank account, right?

    If I’m woefully uninformed, please disregard.
