The former official from Coldwater, a Republican supporter and legal resident who believed he was eligible to vote, now faces possible deportation proceedings
The US is really struggling with this issue right now.
Every time this issue is examined, they don’t find any voter fraud sufficient to change the outcome of an election.
So, there’s little reason to change.
We don’t have any national ID that every citizen has, so if we start requiring more stringent identification, we’ll greatly reduce the number of legal voters, trying to fix something that isn’t a problem.
The government should know who is allowed to vote, so I don’t really see how this guy was allowed to vote, either. But I think we could easily set votes like that to the side, and not count them until the voter is checked to be legally voting. It seems strange that there are big criminal penalties attached when people are simply making mistakes, and nobody is hurt.
I think we should just have a national ID that isn’t specifically a driver’s license, that people can get for free, and roll it out slowly, eventually so that all voters are going to have it. There is something that’s similar, I think called “real ID”, that still seems to be a driver’s license. We need something that is primarily an ID that can also act as a driver’s license, not the other way around.
