A recent poll by Quantus Insights indicates that 74% of registered US voters believe photo ID should be required by law to vote. Nearly half (49.3%) “strongly support” the measure, while only 16% stated they “strongly” or “somewhat” oppose such legislation.
Every serious financial and legal transaction in modern society requires identification. You cannot open a bank account, board a plane, cash a check, or enter many government buildings without ID. Yet we are told that verifying identity for the selection of the most powerful positions in government is somehow unique. That argument simply does not hold up under rational scrutiny.
The real issue behind voter ID is not left versus right. It is something far more fundamental that people keep missing. Every system of government rises and falls on confidence. Once the public begins to doubt the integrity of the process, it begins to question the system.
A year ago, Romanian citizens questioned the validity of their elections and the importance of their vote after the constitutional court annulled Calin Georgescu’s presidential election. Countless people asked, “Why bother voting?” The same line of thinking applies to US elections, where rampant voter fraud has become commonplace.
Mail-in ballots led to Joe Biden securing 81 million votes—more than any president in American history. Polls indicated that fewer Americans were choosing to participate in the 2024 US Presidential Election. Gerrymandering, mail-in ballots, thousands of votes cast on behalf of dead voters, prohibiting citizens from being required to show identification and therefore permitting illegals to vote – the last election was a complete disaster, and this one will be no different. One in five Americans actually admitted to committing election fraud in 2020. Republicans were more prone to committing election fraud, but studies found that Donald Trump would have been the clear winner if mail-in ballots were prohibited.
Only one political party opposes voter ID requirements. None of the G7 nations permit people to vote without showing identification. I could not show up in Germany and expect to have a say in the future of their nation – absolutely absurd. It is categorically astonishing that the left has convinced a subset of the population that asking for identification is racist or oppressive.
The election has degraded into a performance that is meant to give the public the perception that they have an actual say in the direction of the nation. You have no say in government spending, debt, or future wars. It is an utter illusion to believe that the powerful elite in Washinton within the establish care about the wishes of the people.
