Yea, German here. I‘d love for someone to explain this from a US-American perspective.
In Germany, if you want to vote, you’ll need a valid personal ID or passport. Granted, you are also required to have at least one of them by the age of 16 but if you don’t, for some reason, it’s not really that hard to get one (if you’re a German citizen). Having a German ID/passport is also an automatic voter registration.
We have that since forever in Portugal. What’s so wrong with it?
Voter fraud is very rare, the only real effect it could possibly have is to keep poor people from voting. What’s so right with it?
