This is something I'm not very informed about in US politics. In my country, it's well-established that you need IDs to vote. I was surprised that it wasn't required in the USA, so I checked with Claude whether there was an issue with ID access in the USA. I didn't know obtaining IDs was cumbersome in the USA. They need to subsidize ID access:

Yeah, this disproportionately affects the lower class of Americans who can't take time off work during business hours to spend 4-6 hours at the DMV getting their ID. So many argue that requiring an ID to vote goes against the constitutional right for ALL american citizens to vote if some citizens are excluded for socio-economic reasons. Blockchains can solve this, too.

Then the problem is to help those people get an ID easier, they require it for many other things anyway not skip it for “they don’t have time”. I doubt investment bankers have more time but miraculously getting them. Only citizens should vote, no one else.

I agree that the core problem should be addressed, not its symptoms. Another perspective: Even if someone is illegally in the country, the legality (and even border) is an arbitrary definition and these people are affected by the country's policies regardless. In fact, there may be cases where someone living in Cairo is probably more affected by US policies than a New Yorker lol 😅 (thank you US imperialism) So being a citizen is irrelevant IMHO. On the other hand, I wonder how effective the system's multi-voting prevention methods are. IDs would fix that pretty easily.
