re: #119 Anymouse 🌹

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

That made sense back in the days when votes had to be counted by hand and the results transported by courier to the seat of the EC.

I would just like to point out for argument’s sake (because it will never be implemented) that a system in which we all have a mandatory national picture ID (one for citizens, one for legal resident aliens) and a single registered address would do a lot to reduce issues of abuse of social services, any questions of voter fraud or disenfranchisement, or illegal employment.

Heck, one cannot even sign a lease, open a bank account, enroll one’s children in school or register a vehicle without showing ID and proof of residence.

That is why I find the entire discussion of immigration and voter rights so frustrating in the US, it is just a fucking tangled rat’s nest of conflicting interests.
