        Voting requires you to be legally allowed to vote. This just makes it easier to verify who can and cannot vote.

          Yet all the evidence indicates 2 things.

          One it is not needed. As voter fraud is so low as to be insignificant.

          Two it actually limits peoples ability to vote.

          We don’t. The new law requires local auth to issue photo ID. But dose not provide a standard way for people to confirm they are the person photographed.

          In genral its a mess. And leave the people least able to spare 9-5 time to run back and forth to council offices etc screwed.

          IE the poor who work long hours. Or disabled
