Was this not already the case? I’ve lived in a couple places and these things were always the case.

Who would logically be against proof that your election is secure?

I don't understand why Americans are reticent to a voting ID. Here in Mexico it's pretty normal and there's like nothing crazy about it. It identifies yourself and makes sure only people legally allowed to vote can vote.

Because the US government has a well documented history of using election laws to suppress and discriminate against minority voters. They can't be trusted to act in good faith.

because getting an ID costs money and time that most poor americans do not have. The poorest americans that work multiple jobs are simply not able to afford to take time off work to do this.

All this is is an attempt to prevent minority and poor people from voting.

It will be blocked. Having to pay for an ID Card in order to vote is just another form of a poll tax.

Poll Taxes were made illegal via the The 24th Amendment.

A free id card for voting is available

Also one can vote without an ID

The free ID application must be presented in person, which will take a lot of time, and time is money.

I have served as an election officer in Fairfax County, Virginia since 2012.

Every. Single. Legal. Voter. Will. Be. Given. A. Ballot.

Your allegations may have merit elsewhere, but the "Virginia is for Lovers". Of elections.

If one actually gives a GIVE about election integrity, then a well-staffed polling place with a secret ballot cast and counted on reliable equipment is PRECISELY what is sought.

These mail ballots and drop boxes are relatively weak, security-wise.

What we DON'T seem to hear is any sort of thorough analysis.

I'm as big a geek as anyone, but simple, low-tech systems seem preferred.

And don't get me started on these Rank-Choice Ballots.

There is zero evidence of any real election fraud. This is a fear tactic of right wing nuts that want to suppress minority and poor voters.
