Voter ID. Period. Spare us the "the poor/minorities don't have access or funds to get an ID". Liberals/progressive would KILL (figuratively) to have yet ANOTHER entitlement program, as would the clamoring RNC....free IDs for everybody.
Think about it, if you can get Obama phones in the hands of millions of disenfranchised...a PROACTIVE ID program would succeed within 2 years.
Why wont the DNC go along with it? The paramount requirement to vote is to be a U.S. citizen (and felons, etc). Give it a 5 year timeliness for all I care. But get it in, learn from early glitches, correct, and implement with slight faults but mass improvement over existing identity fraud.
They have the passion to spend billions to shore up the rickety postal system, but scared to require IDs and ensure putting them in the hands of every citizen and perhaps non-citizen (separate thread). It is easy peasy. Could of been put in census mailings, postage paid envelope for one requesting an ID or knowing anyone in their household...(perhaps neighbors, homeless, etc). Trump failed in this regard, and California, Florida, New York, et al continue to fail in this regard. You can spend millions to keep addicts on booze, marijuana and opiodsduring the pandemic but no program to offer IDs, not only to vote...a sacred institution, but provide a much needed artifact for other uses.
There is no excuse. You can walk up to a polling place (with mask on), early in the AM, look at the posted voter roll outside and have at it. Move on to the next sub-district ad nauseum. This is important in local elections when 7 ppl are running for a board in a small county, when margins can be in the single digits.
A separate thread, but to deny this year's mass VBM will not be the greatest instance of voter fraud in our history is naive...and makes ID requirement not as effective for the time being.
