It only makes sense. Most of the civilized world requires some form of voter ID when voting. Europe is a good example.70% Favor Voter ID Laws.
Yes, but European nations have a national id system, which the USA does not have.
In Germany, every citizen, and I mean, every citizen, applies for and receives a passport. The first card within the passport - the identity card - is duplicated by the passport agency and that card, which is absolutely identical to the passport card, is that person's identification card (Ausweis). The "Ausweis" is cost-free. No having to jump through 30 different hoops, depending on a particular state's regulations, in order to be able to vote.
So, what you say about Europe is essentially true. But the method is not the one that the US Right wants. Because the US Right wants voter suppresion, plain and simple.
My only concern is to eliminate or attempt to eliminate voter fraud. Requiring voter ID will not entirely eliminate voter fraud, however it will have a significant impact. Below is an article that describes issues Florida is having with voter fraud, however I'm sure these issues are not just present in Florida.
And now, an exceptional reporter in Florida has uncovered shocking fraud in that state registration and voting by non-citizens which officials had no idea was occurring, since they are prohibited from asking immigration status under the fraud-machine called the Motor Voter Act of 1993.
One Naples voter admitted she was an illegal alien but election records show she voted six times in the past eleven years.
Investigators found the voter after examining jury excusal forms where a person said they couldnt serve because they were not U.S. Citizens. They took those names and found dozens of those people in the database of Florida registered voters.
Since investigators only checked a very small sample of jury forms, one can only imagine how many thousands, or tens of thousands of illegals statewide who may have voted since the Motor Voter law was passed in 1993. Non-citizen voting is a Federal felony
Non citizens caught voting in Florida in large numbers
