Voting today in NYC kind of red-pilled me. No ID or proof of residency needed, no pic of me in their system, just name+address+signature, all of which plenty of people could find. Millions are victims of identity theft yearly. This is way easier. Should I vote for my brothers?

Faith in a free and fair election is a greater prerequisite than any form of identification. If you don’t have that, not much is going to convince you of an honest outcome.

Not against voter IDs, they make sense. But, would need to come in conjunction with some reform to make it easier for lower income and elderly to get IDs.

I just dropped my ballot in a box and walked away. Apparently they’ll verify my signature against my voter registration record? Idk man…

if you don't actually believe it's secure, go for it. Might get you arrested tho (fwiw i am not anti voter id laws, but i am p skeptical of significant fraud w/i the current system)

Interesting experience. In the UES, I provided my name, address, zip code and validated with ID. I’m registered to a different address than ID so I showed proof via internet bill.

States that do not require ID all vote a certain way. I wonder why

It's actually quite elegant due to the fact that the DMV and state registers your vote ahead of time. If someone else claims to vote as or for you, then they can take both ballots and investigate (check signatures etc), and this does lead to arrests and court cases. The ACLU wrote that 11% of Americans eligible to vote do not have a valid and current photo ID.
