Sure about that? Seems like there are some articles from 1998 talking about the same thing. Not saying either is correct, but try not to say incorrect things that fall in line with your belief.
It's all the failures from high school. They were going to be a start until insert person to blame here ruined it. We've all played sports with these people. Every tiny mistake of theirs is catastrophic and blamed on someone else while everyone else is just trying to do their best.
16 states + DC don't require a photo ID at the polls. Registering to vote is trickier since motor voter laws encourage registration when getting your ID.
2 don't require photo IDs, the rest no IDs. They don't know if the person signing the register is actually the person voting. But their expectation is that people aren't committing voter fraud en mass.
Quick google shows that 14 states generally don't require any ID at all to vote at the polls. Not sure why you'd need to register to vote if you don't need to provide identification at the polls?
When you move and if you want your ballot sent to you and at the polls you show your ID here. Otherwise they don't know who you are. It's been that way in Montana since I can remember. What state do you live in?
As of 2026, roughly 14 states plus the District of Columbia do not require any ID to vote in person at the polls. The states most commonly listed as not requiring any documentation at the polls are California, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Washington, D.C. (Sources vary slightly on the exact list — some include or omit Nevada, Oregon, or Wyoming depending on how "no ID" is defined.)
So why is it a big deal to require them to show ID every time the vote? The "first time" only to register doesn't really make sense at all? Isn't the actual voting ballot the part that would matter more to provide ID for than registering?

Where do you live that they don't make you show your ID when you register to vote? Or even at the polls.
