    A passport card is different from a passport (book).

    Sorry, but I think its completely reasonable to require an ID to vote at your local polling station. This should just be to confirm your identity though, not necessarily prove your citizenship status.

    All Americans should be registered to vote at birth. Registering to vote should also be part of the process to becoming a citizen for immigrants too.

      Ok but what’s wrong with the drivers license we already use to confirm our identity? Why do we need to switch documents now? Makes no sense.

      Sorry but I just don’t see a reason to change something that isn’t broken

      And yes registering to vote is stupid they know you are eligible that should be enough. It should be automatic but that wasn’t even something they suggested doing

      The change isn’t to require ID. that change is to require a more obscure hard to come by ID so that less people can vote. They aren’t even hiding it. Why do you support that?
