First things first, I don’t doubt it is a bad thing, considering who supports it and who doesn’t.
But my question is what exactly is the issue and what is the current and proposed voting process when it comes to IDs?
Here in my EU country, you have to show some version of a government ID, be it an ID card, drivers license or passport. And we don’t have to pre-register to vote.
To be fair, some US states do handle this better than others. Australia is about the population of California. So now just figure out how to coordinate that system with about 50 other Australias of various sizes and political leanings and you’ve got something.

Do that 50 times and ur all set. We have multiple different state and territory id’s. I’m sure that the fed has a digital system where u out in id and out pops a passport. I can assure you that the id checking for that system is automated and works for id from all states. It cant be that hard to copy paste that system for a voter registry.
