Voter ID

As a Dutch national, unable to vote here until now, I never realized that you don’t have to show a photo ID in the U.S. to vote. I wonder why there is apparently so much resistance to changing this practice? Nobody has a problem showing a driver’s license for a $10 credit card charge.

I don’t think that there are many democracies where you can vote without establishing your identity. Now I understand why there are so many accusations of voter fraud and, looking at the sloppy process, many are probably true.
