 ID Cards are NOT an American idea, and unsurprisingly, it is foreigners who are pushing for them. VILE!

 sir, I'm going to need to see your papers 
 I'm not a big fan of government tracking, but if there's one thing it should track your identity for, it's to vote.

Now we could do better solutions with cryptography, but let's get off the insane Dominion machines first. 
 You need to look at how elections are run in civilised countries. Your thinking is exactly the sort of thought that comes to the conclusion that machines are needed to vote. You’re not trying hard enough. 
 A terrible idea they keep trying to push on us Brits too.

 ever notice that Trump has been talking about voter identification? Imagine convincing “freedom people” to accept a digital ID to preserve democracy 
 Everyone needs to read this, which single handedly killed the UK ID Card. It can also kill the idea in America.

 ur a great writer. 
 There are so many levels of deception, self-deception, and fraud in the "democracy" space. Democracy is very nearly a religion and, like most religions, it is completely nutty. Saying "I want to preserve democracy" is the same as saying "I want to hold on to the illusions that enslave me."
