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.
I voted for a couple decades by just saying my name and having it crossed off the list, and back then the rate of voter fraud was basically zero just like it is after adding a barrier that keeps some people from voting.
Voter ID laws only exist to make it harder for poor people and minorities to vote.
It’s still basically zero.
there was fraud, but its mostly on the REPUBLICAN side or caused by republicans, and funny how it never gets reported. just like the election autopsy isnt getting reported because they dont want it released, granted the dnc doesnt want it to get released.
you have no way to know given what you describe
The zero thing was hyperbole, but there are numbers available. Voter fraud has never been significant enough to matter, despite being non zero.
And no, not everyone can obtain the mandated IDs. It’s a real problem specifically because the mandated IDs are harder to get for the poor amd disenfranchised.
