View submission: 'The Restrictions Are Unbelievable': States Target Voter Registration Drives

View parent comment

It's funny, because I'll mention how we should have voter ID everywhere so we can identify who is taking a ballot. Numerous people responded "they do that when the person registers."

Well, now states are working on getting this registration done right, and still complaints.

I don't find it unreasonable to show registration to have access to a ballot - it would be very easy to include all this in the driver's license process. Simply sign up every citizen when they register for state ID - they aren't being compelled to vote just by being registered and the programming is just a few lines of code. Simply put a V for voter on the appropriate card.

If that is the actual problem - problem solved. I highly doubt I'm the first person to suggest this however which does suggest it's not the actual problem.
