Here is the voting procedure in Trinidad

There are several elections and boundaries offices throughout the country. You go there, similar to the DMV, give them your info and they give you a national ID card. It clearly states whether you are a resident or a citizen.
At any time you can visit that office, and in the lobby are binders with everyone who is registered to vote in that area.
When it comes time for the election, to further ensure the lists are correct, all businesses in that area have to post the voter lists, thats right. I can go to the local bar a block from my house and they will have the voter list for that neighborhood clearly displayed.
You go to your polling station, show them your national ID, they check the list, you vote, and they then dip your finger in blue ink.
Thats how we do it in the third world
As a sidenote, this squatter bullshite in the states, the police would show up and if your national ID does not list that as your address they would haul your arse off to jail then and there.

It seems that Trinidad believes in basic ideas to protect its civilization.

We also have an election day, thats day. The law states any employer must give an employee two hours to vote, and if they are hourly workers, they must be paid for those two hours.

That's for a country that has a population of 1.2 million.
The US is a republic with 50 states plus territories and the states have the constitutional authority to run elections.
A national ID makes some sense, but it has been rejected multiple times in the past due to privacy and federal overreach concerns going back to at least WWII.

That sounds racist.

I don’t know how to process this new information because CNN and MSNOW told me that people of color can’t be racist.
Actually in all seriousness, I like the Trinidad procedure but I would substitute digital fingerprints for the blue ink part.

Current opposition to voting identification has nothing to do with privacy concerns and everything to do with preserving the ability to inject illegal votes.

Fair elections, not absolute authority. Kennedy intervened when civil rights were abused, and its obvious many states are now doing the same again.

Bless your heart, at last count I believe its 21 states who are refusing to do so.
In fact a judge in cali said it would require releasing personal info like SS#. Thats right a judge actually said they could not release ss# to the federal govt who issued the ss#.

To run fair elections, fair being the key word.
Where in the constitution does it say mail in ballots are allowed? Motor Voter registration, blanket mailing of ballots, ballot box stuffing, collection of votes by other individuals?
Kennedy intervened when civil rights were abused, it occuring on a much grander scale right now.

Its like a badge of honor, that you did you duty and voted.

A National ID should be instituted and used for identification purposes for any governmental interactions. If you want to file taxes, apply for EBT or anything that should be how it is verified.
A social security card is not supposed to be for identity verification. My card is old (original and I am late 50's) and says on it "not to be used for identification"
All legal non citizens should also receive a card when they enter the US that says their name, country of origin, DOB, and date their visa or green card expires.

But some places like the DMV will take it so you can get a driver's license. I think even in federal bankruptcy court they need your social security card.
They also need a birth certificate. All of which are not a photo id. At least in recent years, the Louisiana office of vital records will print you a birth certificate or death certificate that is on paper that cannot be copied easily.

We just get cute little “I voted” stickers.
I’ve saved all of mine, friends and family’s too… one day I shall show up to vote absolutely plastered in those stickers.
I like the ink dip better.

Yes,
And article IV, section 4 of the Constitution guarantees a republican form of government.
And if state systems can’t demonstrate that elected representatives are being chosen by the constitutional one man one vote principle then it has a duty to step in and make good on its guarantee.

But we get stickers now. No need for a blue finger.
