First things first, I don’t doubt it is a bad thing, considering who supports it and who doesn’t.
But my question is what exactly is the issue and what is the current and proposed voting process when it comes to IDs?
Here in my EU country, you have to show some version of a government ID, be it an ID card, drivers license or passport. And we don’t have to pre-register to vote.
Not an american, but I’ve seen this asked before and from what I remember a lot of it was about what counts as valid ID (as the US doesn’t have national ID cards like we do in EU countries), and the potential that the ID required would purposely be something hard to get to various communities that are discriminated against, in an attempt to “rig the vote” as it were
Someone from the US probably has a better phrased explanation tho
