Can anyone tell me what’s the big deal with voter ID? It’s a standard in EU, Noone complains about it there.

One problem is that they decided to change the ID situation so that everyone has to have a “Real ID,” in which your name has to match what’s on your birth certificate, or else have supporting documents like marriage certificates or divorce papers. So it’s easy for men, who never change their names, but can be problematic for women who can change their names multiple times, depending on marriages and divorces.

My wife and I were married in the Caribbean over 30 years ago. We have no idea what happened to our marriage certificate, we haven’t found it in decades, it must have gone missing during a move or something. We’ve requested a copy several times over the last decade. It only costs about $10, and we’ve spent over $100 trying to get a copy. They keep the money, and send nothing. Over and over. My wife STILL doesn’t have a valid Real ID because of it. We live in a state that doesn’t care what Trump wants, so it isn’t an issue for voting, but she hasn’t tried flying yet.

So IDs aren’t nearly as easy for many women, and the female vote is a problem for MAGA. Some have even suggested that the vote be removed from women, because that’s how MAGA thinks: If the people don’t like what were doing, we don’t change what we’re doing, we just suppress the rights of anyone whose complaining.

So you’re arguing that because your own Caribbean government screwed you, there can be no voter ID? That line of thought is insane. Blame the Caribbean gov for the problem.

BTW, how do you live for 30 years without ID? In EU it’s nearly impossible

How is it “their Carribean government”? They just took a vacation and got married it sounds like.

They have a state issued ID, just not a “REAL ID”.
