    Requiring voters to show a photo ID to cast a ballot is controversial. For transgender Americans, there are also significant hurdles in being able to update one's ID. (via @wabenews)https://n.pr/2zbZ1o5

        Omg. I love NPR. However, getting an ID is not that difficult. You need a government ID for food stamps. So it is not asking much for voters to show an ID.

        If you are not competent enough to get a govt ID, which is bit difficult, you might not be competent enough to vote. Even Mexico has voter ID laws. Those laws protect against voter fraud.

        It has nothing to do with "competency" as you would realize if you clicked the link we shared. Moreover, what does "even Mexico" mean? Anyway, Mexico provides voter ID cards for free. And voter fraud is so rare as to be statistically insignificant, as proved by the DOJ.

        This is a basic safety feature... I can’t believe that you are even discussing this.

        Does showing ID to get government benefits create a hurdle?

        When benefits become a constitutional right you can make this comparison.

        No it's not controversial! It's common sense. To vote for elections in this country you should be a citizen. You should be required to provide documentation to show that. I am, I did, I voted no problems at all.

        I really dont think is controversial. If u are male be male and if u don't want to, just kill yourself nd die. Y should it be a controversial implementation? I didn't nd d Govt. Didn't ask a male to become female and vicversa. You are just nt a citizen cos we don't knw u anymore.
