    See we know for a fact that the 2020 election was rigged, because we rigged it, so they must have rigged it harder

      They were so dedicated to making America great again that they got themselves locked up, which just a little bit made America greater.

    So now can we admit that voting fraud is a thing? Can we get voter ID?

      She didn’t commit voting fraud. She granted access to voting data to people who should not have had that access.

      Tina Peters was convicted of three counts of attempting to influence a public official; conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation; official misconduct; violation of duty; and failure to comply with an order of the Secretary of State. The jury acquitted Peters of three counts: conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, criminal impersonation and identity theft.

      No problem with ID for voting, just have to make sure they’re accessible by all at no cost (both time and monetary).

      Republicans proposals for voter ID so far have been riddled with ID exclusions that, while never admitted to, would exclude a large part of the population that they don’t want to be allowed to vote. Either include more types of ID or make sure to provide everyone with a voter id for free before the election.

        My state doesn’t even require one but they send a little paper one every time I update my registration. I imagine something like that could be used? Homeless could use a library or shelter as an address for them?

        There would probably be some asshat who would try and snag other’s though. So yeah. Probably best to just stay without.

      For that, you need to make ID mandatory and easily accessible first. Otherwise it’s just voter suppression.

      It’s normal to require an ID card in EU countries to vote, but e.g. in the UK they never asked for it, as long as my name was on the list (there are no national ID cards there).

        I was baffled when I heard that in the US, you can’t just go somewhere and vote. Like, it really is that simple here.

          But you have to register beforehand, right? And use some form of ID or a Name+address combo that makes it impossible to impersonate you to hijack your vote.

            The United States is one of the few democracies in the world where the government does not take any responsibility in registering its citizens. This one-of-a-kind, self-initiated voter registration process acts as a major barrier to voter turnout and leads to often- inaccurate voter rolls. In contrast, the international norm is a process of government-mandated automatic voter registration of every citizen who reaches voting age. This report explores how other major well-established democracies (Canada, Australia, Sweden, Italy, New Zealand and others) concretely manage to build comprehensive, inclusive, accurate voting rolls that leave no voters behind while ensuring a high level of privacy.

        In the UK, we are required to show our legal ID to vote (The tories brought it in a few years ago). Our driving licences are national ID cards, practically.

          and ID cards were revoked again https://www.gov.uk/identitycards

          PS: ok, you’re right, “some” ID is required since 2023 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-65599380 which is a pickle if you don’t drive or have a passport.

        In South Africa it’s the same. Each person gets a ID card when they turn 16. You don’t need to pay for your first one.

        You need to register as a voter with your ID card and present it when voting.
