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.

    Same thing in EU. At least over here in Finland. But, the passport is paid for by the social service if you are on their money.

      US passports cost hundreds of dollars and take 4-6 months to receive… sometimes even after paying an additional fee to expedite the process.

        Yeah, but here nothing works without having an ID or a passport, so everyone must have access to it.

          That’s how the US works as well, you need ID for everything, it’s just lies and propaganda that claims undocumented people are using any services, the reality is literally the opposite.
