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

Well, good. We're not England and we don't have the same political system. Although there are many times I wished that we had a parliamentary system here.

If the majority want to kill babies up to the moment of delivery 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?

Didn't the last Constitutional restrictions on the human body involve slavery?

Only because the court has stepped in and said the state must reinstate the voter registration of all those citizens that had their registration taken away by the state in violation of federal law.

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 do not have massive vote fraud problems here. What we have is a problem with disgruntled trump supporters who can't accept that he didn't win re-election.

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.

Basic identification has worked for all the centuries before and after the camera was invented.
