I CANNOT BELIEVE I HAVE TO SAY THIS:
the purpose of a voter identification card is not only to suppress the vote, but to TRACK the vote.
voter id laws in the United States have ALWAYS come down to fascists wanting to know who is voting AND FOR WHOM, so they can suppress those votes.
the SAVE Act is not only a voter suppression law, but it’s #MAGA #fascists wanting to codify that Americans do not have a right to a secret vote ―which is a HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION
@blogdiva I don't live in the US so I am not in the position to agree or disagree with your statement.
however in Australia we are registered to vote. We tick off our name, grab a bit of paper. The paper is placed into a sealed cardboard box with every other person's vote. There is no ID on the paper. So it is fairly easy to have a verified voter without being able to track the vote.
Can you please educate me as to why voter identification is so problematic in the US?
@Timberwolf @blogdiva I'm US Citizen and am also confused by the statement. I've had a voter ID card for decades.
What's going on in the US though isn't that. They're trying to make it so you have to bring proof of citizenship that matches birth certificate. That's hugely problematic for most citizens with a very targeted exception group: well off, white men. I was able to lay down $200 and get mine in a couple weeks and nobody ever asked me to change my name my entire life.
