I am not saying that the US being a federation is the underlying reason for our lack of a national ID card used for voting. It's just part of the context that makes changing the situation difficult. The reason is the combination of: 1. The power to run elections was delegated to the states 2. States don't want to give up that power 3. The only way to change that would be for the states to vote to give up those powers Yes, as you point out, not all federations are this way. Many others are missing #1 or #3 above. I pointed out that the US was a federation simply for legal context. As of course, local governments don't really have much power against the central government in a unitary state. |
