I CANNOT BELIEVE I HAVE TO SAY THIS:
the purpose of a voter identification card is not only to suppress the vote, but to TRACK the vote.
voter id laws in the United States have ALWAYS come down to fascists wanting to know who is voting AND FOR WHOM, so they can suppress those votes.
the SAVE Act is not only a voter suppression law, but it’s #MAGA #fascists wanting to codify that Americans do not have a right to a secret vote ―which is a HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION

@blogdiva I can't believe you have to say it either. Alcohol consumption and gun ownership really *aren't* the same things as something every citizen has a Constitutional right to do.

@blogdiva I don't live in the US so I am not in the position to agree or disagree with your statement.
however in Australia we are registered to vote. We tick off our name, grab a bit of paper. The paper is placed into a sealed cardboard box with every other person's vote. There is no ID on the paper. So it is fairly easy to have a verified voter without being able to track the vote.Can you please educate me as to why voter identification is so problematic in the US?

@Timberwolf @blogdiva Same here, I voted in Slovenia and France and an ID was always required and a signature on a list was mandatory (you have an assigned location to vote). After that since the bulletin is anonymous there is no way your vote can be tracked.

Many US states require a voter to register under a party to allow them to participate in that party's primaries so you wind up with a database of individuals associated with their political preferences.
And having ID to vote is one thing but it's often the kind of ID that get accepted that can make the difference. Like states that allow a concealed weapons permit as voting ID but not a college ID.
Even further, it's pretty common before big elections for Republicans to run a bunch of bills to reduce the number of eligible voters in specific elections, voters that they can pretend to select for arbitrary reasons, but that were actually well calculated from the registration data to have specific and meaningful effects on the election results -
