You should know this because voter ID is one of the most debated topics in American politics, especially in recent years (SAVE America Act). On one hand, there’s election integrity, and on the other, voter access.

Of these states, six have Democratic trifectas, 23 have Republican trifectas, and seven have divided governments. There are currently 14 states that do not require identification at the polls outside of what is required by federal law. Of these 14 states, 10 have Democratic trifectas, and four have a divided government.
YSK it’s not fun when someone else votes for you because of a stolen identity. YSK your identity has likely been stolen on average 3 times this year and companies have absolutely no reason to protect your identity.
I’m sure the thing that doesn’t happen would be pretty awful if it did.
Now imagine not being able to vote because your wallet was stolen or because you don’t drive a car and don’t need an ID except for one day every two years to vote. Or being home bound or extremely poor and not having easy access to renew your ID. Or any of the other things that make it difficult to present an ID that you have to pay for but you don’t need for anything other than voting.
Do tell more.
And when are they using this vague identity theft materialized into voter fraud?
