I'll have no problems with "voter ID's" as long as the people are automatically registered at 18 and these cards are automatically handed out too them as well.

A mandatory national ID program? That is used to track people in all aspects. Countries with that in use make citizens present it for everything they do.

so how would you prevent voter fraud?

it's pretty much non existent so focus on other things like the rich bribing our politicians

Frozen assets as soon as you take office until the day you leave and no conflict of interest jobs for 5 years.

We already have that, it's called a social security number.

I should have been more clear. I'm not talking about a SSN. I'm talking about compulsory national identity cards. These tend to get abused by governments for tracking every aspect of your life, not just interactions with government agencies. Here's a short article on the pro's and con's.

What kinds of things would it be required for that'd be an issue?

[–]Zapped 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Travel, shopping, assembly.

Yeah, there are risks, but quite a lot else that is necessary before ID is required to shop or assemble.
