Would you support National ID cards?

Yes

So can the yes voters explain the purpose?

If you are going to demand proof identity to vote (which seems like common sense), that identification needs to be free.

In the form of standardized state ID/driver's licenses?  Sure, why not?

We already have such a requirement, tho it has repeatedly been delayed in full implementation.

Which is already the case here in South Carolina and I believe all other states with such laws.  The dispute is over the impediments some people, especially older minorities, have in getting needed documentation such as birth certificates, not over fees.

Maybe I'm missing something here; can't we just have additional tax funds go toward mailing the IDs to people if they can't pick them up...?  I assumed they'd all be mailed anyway.

The fact that this is 50/50 even on this (relatively) forum is scary.

The fact that only half the posters support something that exists in every other developed country is scary?

Can you explain what the point is if we already have social security and driver's licenses?

That's not my point.

Yeah but I was assuming you supported them, and still nobody has defended their yes vote.

I literally quoted your post and defended my yes vote.
