No. That's an extremely bad idea. We don't want people voting who aren't informed and involved.

Everyone has an ID. You can't function in society without an ID.

@sebcw1204 Fair enough. I'll modify my original statement. Every person who is eligible to vote either has an ID, or had an ID at some point in their lives. Getting rid of requiring an ID to vote simply because some people don't have one is dangerous in that it leads voters to question the integrity of elections.

@CChrist-mh4mk Should illegal aliens vote? Should the right to vote be given to people who only want free stuff, despite having no physical or mental ailments preventing them from being productive and contributing to the country? In this context, skin in the game means you are a good faith citizen who supports and defends the positive noble values upon which our society is built.

@CChrist-mh4mk I didn't vote for the governor of my state, because all the choices were similarly destructive.

@CChrist-mh4mk Our Republic is democratic in the sense that it is guided by public opinion, but it is not a Democracy.

@CChrist-mh4mk No, it really isn't. There is nuance that you're missing. Mob rule is Democracy, and this country isn't mob rule.

@sebcw1204 Trump voters know how to obtain IDs, so I'd say they seem better informed than Biden voters. Let's talk about uninformed...MSNBC was telling its audience that Donald Trump had executed some of his political rivals during his term.

@b.c.9358 That's actually a bad idea. That's how productive and civilized societies collapse. That's why our founders wanted only men who owned land to vote, because voting should be only for those with skin in the game. And just a side note, the US is a Constitutional Republic, not Democracy.

@Missy-Missy1111 Voting age should be raised to 25, they should be able to pass the same civics test as legal immigrants, and they should have an ID.

@Missy-Missy1111 Well, there are 13 year olds who can drive better than 20 year olds, but the law is still 16.

@Missy-Missy1111 Any person who votes should be required to pass a citizenship/civics test. The US is not a free for all, it is a very critical nation, and its future should not be in the hands of people who know nothing about how it works or who simply want to live off of the welfare system (unless they are legitimately in need).

@Missy-Missy1111 Ok. Well, that's your opinion and we're all allowed to have them.

@Missy-Missy1111 I will agree that getting an ID should be free for everyone.

@Missy-Missy1111 That is a good point.
