[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you think people should be able to vote even if they have no proof of who they are?[/quote]

Did your grandparents show proof when they voted in the Roosevelt v Hoover election in 1932?
Did your parents show proof when they voted in the Nixon v Kennedy election in 1962?
Did you show proof when you voted in Bush v Clinton in 1992?

Answer: No, none of that happened. You show proof when you register to vote and that's it.

There is no reason to require an ID to vote. It's worked for 250+ years in this country.[/quote]

People including myself used to show voter registration cards.   https://www.usa.gov/voter-registration-card    The survey respondent count was 288 and 6% responded that they were deterred by voter ID laws. 17 eligible voters. https://elections.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/483/2018/02/Voter-ID-Study-Release.pdf

It's easier now with drivers licenses since you don't have to carry that card.
Think about how many people live in your household or who could vote in your place with alternate id.  [/quote]

They are. That’s the idea.[/quote]
