Comments by "David Aspinall" (@yt.personal.identification) on "DESPERATE Fox Reporter Tries Psaki Gotcha, FAILS" video.
As an Aussie I am trying to understand one small detail. Firstly, I get why these rules are terrible. For the record, we have compulsory voting in State and Federal elections...council elections are optional. The detail is voter ID. Why is it such a controversial point? Is there a cultural thing I am missing? I have seen this specific point labelled as racist in a few places ( not here ) I get why the package in it's entirety disenfranchises minorities, but this one detail seems to be important. What am I missing? NB Hoping this question will be taken more gracefully here, than on other channels. Thanks.

@MxDae Thanks. I will check out that other video too. I didn't realise acceptable ID would be so troublesome to acquire, and then tying more hoops to jump through adds another layer. I guess it is partially a cultural thing then too. Here a valid ID is not difficult or expensive, and producing ID is a quick verification that records match. With compulsory voting it is in our governments interest to make these things as easy as possible. And that Sunday voting thing really does take on a whole new level when you explain the tradition. Thanks for taking the time. Much appreciated.

@MxDae Over the last couple of years, I have noticed I need to be far more thankful for some of the things we are fortunate enough to be able to take for granted here.
