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:

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.

How do the people who believe ID requirements infringe on voting rights reconcile this with the need to prevent voter fraud?

I would love it if we did that, but given the US establishment’s stance on crypto, I’m worried we’re a very long way from bringing voting onchain.

Every citizen is still required to register to vote. There are other security measures in place to prevent fraud. But if we want to beef those measures up, let's bring voting and voter registration onchain. Authenticity can be validated with zk-Proofs.
