politics

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:

So far only Arkansas (or Arizona?) require IDs, I think it should be a normal requirement to only allow votes by citizens. Not an issue in many other countries actually, only US specific.

I would actually be surprised if getting an ID would be difficult since many of my friends easily got theirs when immigrating.

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.
