  • You need IDs to vote in the US as well. Most people register to vote when they get their ID, and for most people, that is your Driver’s License or State ID card. Those already have your information.

    The issues here are they are tightening the ID requirements. Most people in the US dont have passports. In addition, the changes they are making require you to have the passport match your birth certificate. If you get married and take your spouse’s last name, and have that on your passport, you now do not have a valid voter ID.

    This is an easy way to wipe off quite a lot of women, minorities, and poor people from the voting rolls.


  • You need it in the US too… you cant just rock up to a voting booth and put in your vote. You have to have your State ID, Drivers License, or Passport ready to show, and it has to be checked against the voter roll (which you register for when you get your ID) to make sure youre eligible to vote.

    The thing is that a majority of people in the US dont have passports. A majority of people in the US never even leave their own state, so they dont need one.
