There isn't any problem showing ID at polling places. But in some states, there is a problem with election officials accepting ID.

In Russia they won't allow you to vote unless you show your passport.

Actually, elections in Russia are much more transparent .

The main difference between Presidential elections in the United States and Russia is the electoral college. The Presidential election in Russia is a direct vote by the people, while Americans elect their presidents through a unique method known as the electoral college.
Presidential Elections in the United States and Russia

1. In Russia every citizen’s vote matters equally way regardless of the area he (she) lives.
2. There are no middlemen ( an additional subject for fraud as we all are witnessing this year) between voters and their candidates.
3. To vote Russian citizens are required to show their ID.

There are a lot of problems we could quickly dispense with, from voter fraud to illegal immigration, if we simply had a national ID requirement.

But there are strong partisan objections to that, based on nothing but fear.

It shouldn't be a big deal, but ID's cost a lot in some states (well, the documents to get one). Where I live, you can get your birth certificate and an ID for about $35. In some places it's over $100, and that is too much. Find a way to stop states from charging exorbitant amounts for a b/c and a photo ID.
It is NOT so people can cheat at the voting booth, though. That is stupid.

I invite you to read the decisions of the multiple courts that have struck down voter ID laws. Educate yourself for once.

That only means, that somebody wants to keep those problems as well as voter fraud, because they benefit from all above.

And let's not forget: the things which cause problems to you not necessary cause problems to those, who rule you. Actually, may even be vice versa.

Yes, it seems a lot of citizens pushing voter ID like various aspects of Russian society.

The constitution is kinda like the bible, it's merely a weapon with which to extract certain bits from, out of context, to support a predetermined unmovable position and use it against another.

But........the person who claims $35 is too expensive for an ID will spend that much in the ABC store to buy liquor for the weekend.

Yes it can be a guide for how to make a decision between to irreconcilable positions. It's worked more or less fine so far.

More countries have a mandatory ID card than do not.

There's apparently a liquor store in that burg, and the proprietor doesn't demand a specific form of ID.

Actually, I live in Florida. We have had to produce a photo ID for many years now in order to vote. It is strange that even the Black residents of Florida seem to be complying with our photo ID requirements.

That's a bit of a projection don't you think? Perhaps not everyone drinks the way you do.
