as others have stated the US doesn’t have what other countries would consider a national ID. they have a Drivers License and a Passport, that’s it. I think some states might have a regular photo ID but I’m not sure it’s been several years since I lived in the US. and then some people have like a military ID.
The problem is other than the Passport none of those are proof of citizenship. None citizens can get a drivers license, none citizens can serve in the military, none citizens can even get a social security number/card. So the only way to prove citizenship is like Passport or Birth Certificate. Not even sure how US Citizens who became citizens after landing would prove it and with how ICE is that would be an extremely risky thing to present/prove when going to vote.
So then you have the problem that A. Not everyone has/can afford a Passport and B. not everyone has a Birth Certificate or their name has changed on it or their gender has changed, etc.
Thus when you consider all these things you then realize that voting in the US only a fraction of the US population would be 100% eligible. and EVEN then they could deny you for whatever reason they deemed fit. And even just requiring a passport and birth certificate it’s easy to then figure out WHO they’re targeting based on demographics. Low income people aren’t going to have a passport, like it or not a majority of Black Americans aren’t going to have one, Trans people won’t be eligible, Women who married likely won’t be if they took their spouses last name, people who were adopted, all US citizens that became one after immigrating to the US, etc, etc, etc.








well to be blunt you’ve had systems built against you for literal decades to prevent you from doing as much. Healthcare tied to employment, at will employment states, 40+ hour work weeks, the least amount of paid time off or time off in general in the modern free world, and these are just a few examples. You also have law enforcement the nation over that has been “trained” and equipped to act as mini-militaries. And THEN you have several government agencies that have also been trained and equipped as such and that’s even before considering the ACTUAL US Military.
These are just some examples of systems put into place to ensure that you, your average American, stays in line and doesn’t rebel-rouse.
