Nearly every country in the world that has elections requires some kind of identification to vote, I don’t see any reason to object to this besides it being somebody else’s desire.

Don’t be absurd, I’m not advocating for a poll tax or keeping any specific kind of person from voting… except those who know nothing about or would otherwise be uninterested in politics.

Votes are being sought through the same spammy clickbait fear methods that grabs so much attention these days. Such methods to win elections corrupt the political process so the only way to win is to grab the most attention through fear, fake conflict that becomes real, and other sorts of degrading manipulation.

The kind of shit I’m getting constantly from both parties in my inbox is disgusting and directly responsible for the awful state of national politics. Either I’m supposed to step up to battle the evil opponents or I’m supposed to be afraid of what they’ll do if they win (so give now! 5x matching only going on for a limited time.

Everybody who wants to should be able to vote.

I would not object to voting IDs if they were free and easy to acquire. They are not. The fraud they allege to prevent is low double digit numbers when summed up over decades of voting. If you don't see that ID laws are being intentionally used to prevent votes from people who want to vote, you are willfully blind.
