If they really insist on this. I can’t imagine say, for example, an old woman who’s been voting at the same precinct for 50 years and the poll worker who knows her well asking her for her ID. This is not like buying cigarettes, this is your right to vote. It’s what makes the democracy work. Like our is not working now.
