Yunno, in Germany and other parts of the world, everyone has a single registered home address, where you are then automatically registered as a voter.

And every citizen has a picture ID. Non-citizens have a residence permit ID.

There is no major discussion here of voter fraud or voter disenfranchisement, you show up to the polls with your valid ID and you are crossed off the list when you drop off your ballot.

Well, part of the problem is each state has its own election rules under the Constitution.

As such, you saw things here like Kansas trying to disenfranchise active duty military voters and their dependents, after Kansas passed its voter ID law (then spent insane amounts of money defending it against people who used federal mail-in ballots, like military personnel). Kansas claimed they could not check the ID of military personnel or dependents using federal absentee ballots, the federal government argued in court that was unconstitutional and unnecessary as absentee ballots from military personnel and dependents are countersigned by military officers rank O-4 and above. (That would be Sam Brownback’s term in Kansas, with Kris Kobach as his wingman.)

I don’t know where so many non-military voters get the idea that conservatives care about military personnel and veterans, because everything the GOP does screws us.
