That and classism yeah. Also, we can't have those filthy illegal immigrants voting. What with their family centric values and religious background and hard work ethic. They're like exactly the kind of people the Republican base preaches against.

How do you have more than four (biological) grandparents?

One of my friends thinks that Ann Coulter is an incredible troll but I think she really is just not that smart.

You don't. She's saying that if only 100% third generation citizens were allowed to vote, Trump would win.

Why the hell do you have to register to vote anyway in your country?
So that it's known in advance that you're qualified to vote in general based on age and non-felon status, and specifically for a set of candidates/propositions based on place of residence. It would slow the process down tremendously if they had to verify that after the fact for each ballot.

They might mean that where they live you are automatically registered to vote once you reach the requisite age and don't actually have to do anything yourself.

North Dakota doesn't require you to register to vote as long as you have a form of state ID (E.G. a drivers license or something similar) Since we're a small enough state that most of the overhead isn't too bad in that regard.

I imagine in New York they want you to pre-register so that the entire system doesn't grind to a halt and they can actually get the results out in a timely fashion.

You don't, I guess. I don't really understand myself how people function like that, but there's at least a few of them, enough for attempts to make voting require official ID to be politically contentious.

You need an ID, just not necessarily a federal or state government-issued ID. Florida requires you to have an ID with your photo and signature on it, such as a student ID.

You also need to register yourself with a valid driver's license or state ID number or a Social Security number, and they check you against the list when you arrive in your district's voting place and check that your signature matches. The amount of effort needed to illegally vote isn't worth it.

Some places like Pennsylvania let you use things like utilities bills for identification at the polling place, which helps poor people who don't have a government or college photo ID.

They tend to be poor people without cars, and hence no need for a drivers license.

I had to show my ID at the polls today, and it was probably the second or third time this year I've needed it. I'm old enough that i don't normally get carded, so beyond that I'm not sure where else I'd need to show my ID.

A lot of places you don't need an ID of any variety. In MN I just walk up and say "oh yeah, I'm totally Joe Incognito", I sign on the line, and am issued a ballot.

(that's to vote, to register I at least would have to have something to indicate that I actually live in the district (which can be as simple as a utility bill), to vote they don't ask)
