I thought it was because not everyone has a car or drivers license <-- so it discriminates against poorer people. But now most states, if not all, offer a state ID. You'll have to show a social security card and some proof you're living in that state. So yeah, everybody should be able to get one of those, and so everybody ought to have to show ID to vote, as far as I'm concerned. Why not?
Isn’t that what real id does?
Any new Id ought to support google wallet or Apple wallet.
It would be best if we just gave fingerprints, retinal scan, DNA, teeth impressions and a kidney to the government so that they can track us, arrest us and put is in a camp should they like.
Localism favors the right, totalitarianism favors the left, as leftism is inherently totalitarian
Why? That would be dumb, because it’s replacing an existing apparatus for issuing an ID card that can be physically possessed with one that requires tens of billions of dollars in annual costs,
That is something that should be rolled back, the SSN should be used for nothing other than social security benefits
You have it exactly wrong. Rightism is authoritarian and prone to totalitarianism.
No, some right ideologies are authortarian, totalitarianism is exclusively a left wing trait, because only left ideologies are utopian and believe in the perpetual progression of history. There is no point at which the leftist is satisfied there isn’t something to progress towards. That’s how tolerating homosexuality has turned into forcibly transing children and “death with dignity” has turned into your country allowing mentally ill people to just put themselves to sleep, eventually MAID will be mandatory in your country, it will be a patriotic duty to save the insurance system
Everyone within the borders of the US have the enumerated rights under the Bill of Rights protected. It doesn't matter who they are. They could be an illegal alien or a legal tourist from another country, they have the exact same constitutionally protected rights as every US citizen. No ID required.
If Congress ever does enact a National Identification it will be held unconstitutional almost immediately by the Supreme Court. Congress does not have the authority, and it would therefore be a violation of the Tenth Amendment.
Not everyone uses Social Security.
Non-citizens don't have the right to vote in federal elections.
This is a classic example of Congress exercising its constitutional authority under Article IV, Section 1 of the US Constitution:The Real ID Act of 2005 (stylized as REAL ID Act of 2005) (Pub.L. 109–13 (text) (PDF), 119 Stat. 302, enacted May 11, 2005) is an Act of Congress that modifies U.S. federal law pertaining to security, authentication, and issuance procedure standards for drivers' licenses and identity documents, as well as various immigration issues pertaining to terrorism.
The law sets forth requirements for state drivers' licenses and ID cards to be accepted by the federal government for "official purposes", as defined by the Secretary of the United States Department of Homeland Security. The Secretary of Homeland Security has defined "official purposes" as boarding commercially operated airline flights, and entering federal buildings and nuclear power plants, although the law gives the Secretary unlimited authority to require a "federal identification" for any other purposes.[4]

Are you not aware that you are required to produce ID to receive government provided social services?
The Twenty-Sixth Amendment is also not one of the Bill of Rights. If you read the Bill of Rights it refers to "the people." While the Twenty-Sixth Amendment refers specifically to US "citizens."
Wait until you see the Court after the Dems pack it!!!
I don't have to wait. I can already see what the Democrats have done with the $2.5 trillion unconstitutional CARES Act of 2020 and the $1 trillion unconstitutional Infrastructure bill. Democrats shit on the US Constitution daily.
