Since 2011, twelve states have passed laws that require a photo identification to vote. Supporters argue that ID’s are needed to increase confidence in elections and prevent voter fraud. Critics argue that voter fraud rarely exists and that ID requirements are intended to suppress turnout by economically disadvantaged voters.

No, but make a background check for any offenses in an election
@8PSBMVZ4yrs4Y
Yes, As long as it has the name of the voter on it
@8WB34X84yrs4Y
yes to know if you are required
@93G8JBP3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if photo IDs are provided for free to all citizens
@8MKJFKZ4yrs4Y
Although voter fraud prevention is necessary, I have to argue that the stages of voter identification are too complex. Many minorities that could otherwise vote do not have access to the identification necessary. So either make ID easily accessible to everyone or simplify the voter ID process.
@728K6Y23yrs3Y
Yes but provide it at no cost and increase information security
@5PYQTKR4yrs4Y
Only if there is adequate evidence that it does NOT negatively effect suffrage
@6VP8SNW4yrs4Y
Yes, but make it easy to obtain, and also automatically register every citizen to vote when they turn 18
@8THH6VK4yrs4Y
No; this will disadvantage those who do not have the resources to obtain one and there is little evidence that voter fraud even exists, and automatically register every citizen to vote when they turn 18
@93Q2QJK3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if photo ID is made free and easily accessible
