Democratic
countries around the world require some form of voter identification (often
photo ID) to cast a ballot in person at polling stations. This is a common
practice in most established democracies to verify voter identity and help
prevent fraud, though the strictness varies—some require photo ID with no
alternatives, while others accept non-photo options or provide workarounds like
affidavits.
The
United States stands out as an outlier among long-standing democracies, where
requirements are decided at the state level and many states do not require
photo ID (or any ID) for all voters. In contrast, the vast majority of other
democratic nations do require ID.
To
ensure trust in the electoral process in the USA we should initiate:
1. Voter ID Requirement
2. Only USA Citizens Can Vote
3. Paper Ballots Counted by Hand
4. A National Holiday on Election Day
5. Voting in Person at the Polling
Station to the Greatest Degree Possible
6. Make Acquiring a Voter ID very Easy so
the no USA Citizen is disenfranchised
