@weilawei @liztai @ct_bergstrom There are statistically zero fake voters here. There are huge swaths of the population without acceptable ID.

@dalias @weilawei@mastodon.online @liztai @ct_bergstrom good point, however the main issue is not that people should be able to vote without any verification.

The big issue to solve is that every person should be able to easily obtain ID.

@lazza I think it may also be a cultural thing - I have a feeling having an ID could be a negative thing, like it involves the govt tracking you etc.

@dalias @weilawei @ct_bergstrom

@liztai @lazza @weilawei @ct_bergstrom Yes, part of the culture here is that a lot of people don't *want* an ID. But I'm not sure how much that overlaps with disenfranchisement. A lot of the latter is lack of car or wish to have a car, expense, police seizing & destroying property including documents, abusers withholding documents, inability to get correct gender documents, etc.
