[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a lefty who is all for more identification at the polls. I just don't trust this administration to implement any of it. Data shows us that there is exceedingly little fraud going on. But for future elections, I do think it's best practice to require identification when you vote, and perhaps have a voter card system, or establish a national ID system that's used for all transactions. A driver's license is state dependent, not all people drive, and it's not a document that is unique to US citizens. All countries in the developed world have stricter voting laws than the USA.

We really should be thinking about this. Just after Trump leaves.

I think the universe of voters who don't have ID because their wallet was stolen, they were in a collision and their wallet got thrown out the window and is in a ditch underwater, their house burned down, they had to replace a lost ID in a state where those are sent by mail (mine does them on the spot, but I also live in a city which has the DOT office instead of 80 miles out in the country), etc etc is larger than the universe of fraudulent voters.

In Oregon 5.6% of drivers licenses are replaced each year due to being physically lost or stolen. If you apply that loss rate to the number of registered voters, that's 526 on any given day. Replacements are sent by mail. IF they have online access or live in a town where they can go to DOT, they can get a receipt for the replacement, but the temporary documents also do not have a photo.
