Photo ID is now required for elections in England.

To vote in England, you now need to show photo ID to vote at polling stations in some elections.

This applies at:

UK parliamentary elections, including general elections, by-elections and recall petitions
Local elections and by-elections
Police and Crime Commissioner elections

So tell me why the UK and India have no problem with voter ID whilst the US is an outlier.

Abstract
Americans keep hearing that there is no need to protect against vote fraud, that fraud is either non-existent or extremely rare. We hear that regulations, such as photo voter IDs, are unnecessary and will disenfranchise voters. Yet, the United States is not unique in having this debate. Virtually all of Europe and almost all developed countries require in-person voters to use photo IDs to vote. Indeed, out of Europe’s 47-countries, only the United Kingdom hasn’t required photo IDs to vote in their entire country, but that is about to change. Similar in-person rules exist for most developed countries. The vast majority of countries ban absentee ballots for people living in their country. While some point out that eight of Europe’s 47-countries allow for proxy voting, where you can designate someone to vote on your behalf, the safe-guards used to prevent fraud are generally far more stringent than used for absentee ballots in the US. Other countries have discovered widespread voter fraud when safeguards are not used. They also understand that relying on conviction counts is unlikely to catch the vast majority of fraud that occurs. The question is: why is the US so unique in terms of not guarding against vote fraud?

we have a remedy. Pass a Constitutional amendment. Make it the 28th amendment. I favor equal pay for equal work. we need a sales tax and no income tax. That way everyone pays taxes including illegal aliens. Rich people like expensive toys so they would naturally pay more. I prefer we just enforce our current gun laws. The majority also wants to close the border and to deport illegal aliens. So are you cool with that?

Only the stupid, such as yourself, use hyperbole and exaggeration to bolster their lame argument. The rest of your blurb is about as nuanced and intelligent as the rest of your failed attempts to engage in intelligent discussion. We understand how difficult that is when the intelligence just isn't there to begin with. lol

The border IS closed. We DO deport "illegals." Pretending otherwise in order to make a political point is another fail. Try harder, Agnes.

They were people that self identified as non-citizens when they got driver licenses. So either they were non-citizens or lying or just dumbasses. If they were lying they may have been lying to get out of jury duty would be my guess.
At any rate they were all offered the chance to prove they were citizens.

They were citizens. Whether they marked the wrong box or whether a government employee checked the wrong box or accepted the document without a box checked doesn't matter. They are US citizens and have the constitutional right to vote.

There is no evidence of any non citizen voting.

So, it is OK to prevent 1,000 citizens from voting in order to keep one one non citizen from being registered? I guess you agree we should be able to prevent 1,000 citizens from having guns so we can prevent one mass shooter from having a gun.

Of course

Shouldn't be so careless when they fill out paperwork to register to vote iand self identify.... Voting is very serious business And should be treated with the respect that it deserves...

That a lot of restrictions to our former freedoms came from the Act, even though it was supposed to expire four years after being initiated.

The patriot act was indeed a disaster.

But basic identification existed before the patriot act and is not a problem.

this was a poorly conceived approach to the thread.

honesty would make your arguments better.

being aligned with truth is just easier to keep a handle on.

oh what a tangled web you weave.

you're the only one caught up in it.

come to Jesus.
