Voter registration already requires an ID.

Checking ID on election day is more likely to enable election fraud than prevent voter fraud.

This could be in the top 3 most hilarious cope I've ever read.

Last time I voted, my "verification" consisted of someone glancing up from a newspaper to look at my signature for 0.25 sec and going "yeah looks good". That's it. No ID, no nothing, all I gave them was a name.

When the ID check to buy a pack of smokes at Safeway is way more stringent than voting, the system is fucked.

It takes more KYC to open a goddamn GMail account.
