re: #9 Obdicut

I think it doesn’t matter if it’s difficult or not. It still leaves place for fraud - even if on a small scale - where somebody who knows you can vote for you just to spite (etc.). Smallness of the scale does not matter. The system should not be based on trust in principle, it tramples the one person-one vote rule. The solution is not to get rid of ID checking, the solution is to have IDs easily available and for free for anybody eligible.

I will agree with one thing though. If the system has been going on like that for many decades, it’s not fair to simply “break” it and suddenly start to require IDs where none were necessary previously. The point is to reform the system step by step. First make IDs freely and easily available. Then inform the population. Then start requiring IDs.
