If requiring an ID to vote is unreasonable, or, as many have claimed, "racist" or "unfair", then the following are also "racist" and "unfair": Purchasing alcohol and cigarettes, opening a bank account, applying for a job, applying for Government handouts (food stamps, Medicaid, welfare, etc.), purchasing or renting a home, marrying, purchasing a hotel room, purchasing a firearm, not to mention a fishing or hunting licence, adopting a pet, purchasing a prescription, donating blood, entering a casino, purchasing lottery tickets, watching "Mature" rated movies at a cinema, and purchasing a cellphone (and the accompanying plan). Each of these relatively mundane activities (well, for the most-part) require some form of identification, yet the one activity all adult citizens can engage in that's capable of altering the fundamental welfare of our nation does not. This can (and has) lead to serious voting fraud; namely the same person voting multiple times at different voting stations. By no stretch of the imagination is this acceptable (unless you're a certain power-hungry politician who stands to gain from this violation), and, in my opinion, at least some measures should be taken to remedy this ridiculous issue.

I can't provide the names of specific persons; all I know is that many on the political Left are claiming the aforementioned (that requiring voter ID is racist and unfair). A quick Google search brings up many news articles arguing that exact point, which are immediately noticeable as Leftist (given their terminology). Side: Yes

In order to vote in American presidential elections you first have to register yourself for voting. In order to be able to vote you must be 18, a united states citizen, and meet your state's residency requirements. Requirements depend on the state. Now to answer your question... a legal immigrant can vote just like any normal american citizen once they are given citizenship, but and illegal immigrant is not supposed to be able to vote at all, but there are some ways around that. An illegal immigrant can vote by having residency in the state, by proving that they live within the state, or some states that require an id to vote you can create a fake id. Also, this happened once, but 800 illegal immigrants who were supposed to be deported to where they came from were once accidentally given citizenship, which technically makes them legal, but just saying that's how some of them can vote.

American politics is already riggable and predictable due to having to register as a party supporter in order to gain the right to vote. If you had to get ID cards on top of this it would be even easier to predict and pander to the demographics that one is already gaining most support from to seal the deal. Side: No
