US Voter ID (AKA "Voter Suppression")
Twelve states, including the battleground state of Virginia,
now require voters to
show some form of photo identification (see table below), with approximately thirteen other states pursuing similar legislation.
Canada Voter ID (aka REAL VOTER SUPPRESSION)
In Canada the Federal government will send out, by mail, an Elections Canada registration confirmation card,
which the voter takes to the polling station, in advance detailing the where and when that individual should vote. To vote, one must prove their identity and address. A voter has three options:
[5]
(1) Show one original piece of identification with photo, name and address like a driver's license or a health card. It must be issued by a government agency.
(2) Show two original pieces of authorized identification. Both pieces must have a name and one must also have an address. Examples: student ID card, birth certificate, public transportation card, utility bill, bank/credit card statement, etc.
(3) Take an oath and have an elector who knows the voter vouch for them (both of which will be required to make a sworn statement). This person must have authorized identification and their name must appear on the list of electors in the same polling division as the voter. This person can only vouch for one person and the person who is vouched for cannot vouch for another elector.
