Who cares?
People needs IDs to drive on the road. Nobody seems to believe it's unreasonable to expect drivers to be able to produce them except the sovereign citizen idiots. Yet for some reason I'm supposed to sympathize with those who assert this is an unreasonable expectation at a voting booth.
Rational, moderate people seem to recognize voter fraud is largely a non-issue. Although many of us recognize the security threat as we move to increasingly electronic record keeping. Similarly, rational, moderate people recognize it's not at all unreasonable to expect citizens to verify they are who they say they are at a voting booth.
Why would anyone be against that? To what kind of person is that an unreasonable burden? Certainly not the kind I want voting. I don't care if they do have the right. Rights are only deserved if they are exercised. So exercise them.
There were an estimated 3.5 million people who did not have photo ID when this was introduced.
All it takes is to be unfortunate enough to be born into the wrong household and you're not getting a vote are 18 or even older, whether the reason is poverty or lack of priority or inability.
Obviously Bozo Johnson thought as you do: who cares, I don't want them voting anyway. Very privileged and entitled nonsensical attitude that serves absolutely no one well and achieves nothing except a little more friction against those who already struggle the most. Leave it to the ignorant to cause mindless issues and blame it on non existant crime.
