The opposite side of this coin is voter suppression. A vote suppressed is exactly as bad as a fraudulent vote. But, I think I'm in the minority on the voter ID opinion, and I want people to be confident in democracy, so I hope we can come to a compromise.
I'll vote for voter ID if you vote for expanding access to voting. Make election day a holiday. Make issuance of voter IDs automatic. Switch to no-excuse absentee ballots everywhere. Expand early voting options.
I've always wanted strong voter verification/ID but also massive voter turnout efforts. I haven't found many people with a similar take.

I support all of this. And let's also make sure people who are voting are eligible to do so.
Unsubstantiated fear mongering erodes confidence.

Suppression has and continues to be an actual problem. Even in just this election:

Late edit: Downvotes. Hysterical. Wonder if it’s the vote suppression advocates or the folks who disagree with voter ID. No fans of compromise?
