@blogdiva@mastodon.social I don't live in the US so I am not in the position to agree or disagree with your statement.
however in Australia we are registered to vote. We tick off our name, grab a bit of paper. The paper is placed into a sealed cardboard box with every other person's vote. There is no ID on the paper. So it is fairly easy to have a verified voter without being able to track the vote.
Can you please educate me as to why voter identification is so problematic in the US?

@Timberwolf@theforkiverse.com @blogdiva@mastodon.social Same here, I voted in Slovenia and France and an ID was always required and a signature on a list was mandatory (you have an assigned location to vote). After that since the bulletin is anonymous there is no way your vote can be tracked.
