Not being from the US, I was flabbergasted when I learned how voting laws are working there. Where I live we’re all automatically registered by the government. They send a card with your name and your address. If there is an error, or if if people don’t get a card, they can manually register or correct the error. And we all stay registered unless we move or there is an error. That’s it.

I’m in my mid life and had to register once in my 20ies because I moved a lot. Otherwise the government just automatically registers me. Nobody can challenge that except the election’s office. They decide who meets the requirements to vote or not. Not some random conservative asshole that thinks people are not white enough. Democracy in the US seems like a joke.

In Canada we have the same thing. You can every year when filling taxes tick off a box to update your voter info to save you the work. You also can register at the voting booth with ID, or proof of residence, or the statement of a registered voter in the area willing to vouch for you.

Basically zero voter fraud.

Voter ID and registration laws are pure voter suppression!

In Canada, though, everyone has Some form of gov ID, if even just a health card (from the gov, With your pic and address).

Many, many Americans don’t have ID.

Also. “Real ID” is another animal, not produced in all regions, barely usable, a mess. If they’re demanding “real ID” the challenges will be exciting.
