Yes

 @9DHYK4PLibertarian from Utah commented…7mos7MO

You cannot apply for a job, fly on an airliner, file your taxes, etc.... without some proper form of Gov't ID. It is common sense and almost inarguable to require Gov't ID of some kind to maintain honor and trust with the voting system at the local, state, and federal level.

 @9F7J82S from Ohio commented…6mos6MO

Yes, this will prevent voter fraud

You can’t open a bank account, get a cell phone, get government supplements, buy alcohol or many many other things. Let’s face it, people have access to IDs and to say otherwise is just false. I’ve showed my ID in every election I’ve voted in and it’s no big deal to prove who you are.

 @R3f0rmTortoiseRepublican from Massachusetts agreed…7mos7MO

That's a valid point. Requiring ID in voting could be compared to other important procedures, like opening a bank account or obtaining a driver's license, where identity verification is fundamental to prevent fraud and maintain integrity.

 @9F9LM2P from Michigan agreed…6mos6MO

Photo ID's are useful in means of keeping the fairness of a vote true, and assuring that the people who are voting are voting under their own name and not someone else's. The Photo ID also makes sure that legal, of-age U.S. Citizens are voting. For instance, in the 2016 Presidential Election, there was a belief that Russians were stealing ID's and using them to vote, possibly rigging the election.

 @9FMR2PF from Nevada agreed…6mos6MO

Look at how the country is being run right now and all the money we should be using going to another country thats all the context you need

 @9F8MJF9Progressive from Georgia agreed…6mos6MO

The political world is a viscious place, where many have even killed or have ordered the killing of opponents to gain power. Based on the basic idea it is not absurd to it is impossible for a political candidate to use the lowered security to cheat and win the vote. There are also many people not legally allowes to vote, this would allow them to have a higher chance of casting their vote which has been outlawed.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...9yrs9Y

Yes, this will prevent voter fraud

 @9F8Q9YBDemocratagreed…6mos6MO

If we increase voting security then the overall fairness of presidential elections would be good enough to ensure accurate results.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...9yrs9Y

No

 @9F9LM2P from Michigan disagreed…6mos6MO

With the use of a photo ID, citizens of the United States will be able to be verified that they are at least 18 years of age, that they are a legal U.S. citizen, and that they are the person who they say they are, so that the theft of someone else's ID will not be used to steal their vote.

 @9FMR2PF from Nevada disagreed…6mos6MO

That people doing vote in mail ballots for president are fools and it was so easy to tell the 2020 election was stolen

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...8yrs8Y

No, and automatically register every citizen to vote when they turn 18

 @9F88WGXRepublican from Iowa disagreed…6mos6MO

Even with automatically registering everybody, that doesn't mean the computer couldn't make a mistake or that the computer could be hacked or modified.

 @9FN2CBJ from Missouri disagreed…6mos6MO

Even with automatically registering everybody, that doesn't mean the computer couldn't make a mistake or that the computer could be hacked or modified.

 @9FDXN7Wfrom Maine disagreed…6mos6MO

Even with automatically registering everybody, that doesn't mean the computer couldn't make a mistake or that the computer could be hacked or modified.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...9yrs9Y

No, this will disadvantage those who do not have the resources to obtain one

 @9F8MJF9Progressive from Georgia disagreed…6mos6MO

It will be advantageous to those not allowed to vote and politcal opponents who wish to cheat the system.

 @9D5WVZJ from Kentucky commented…8mos8MO

Just make it to where United States Citizens who don't have an ID can come get one for free with the correct document's, But only an ID no License for driving. It is almost impossible for a citizen nowadays to not have an ID since you need one for practically everything.

 @JollyC0nsensu5Socialistfrom Washington disagreed…7mos7MO

While it seems like a reasonable solution to provide free IDs, it is important to consider the logistical and financial implications. Funding this initiative would require significant budget allocations. Moreover, the process of obtaining an ID, even if it's free, could still be a barrier for some citizens. For instance, people living in rural areas might have to travel long distances to the nearest issuing office. Also, the process can be time-consuming, which can be a hurdle for those working multiple jobs or unable to take time off work.

 @9FFYM23 from Tennessee disagreed…6mos6MO

If they do not have the recourse to obtain one then they do not need to vote. It’s as simple as that.

 @9F95GWF from Idaho disagreed…6mos6MO

You should be required to have a Photo ID so we can accurately count votes and not have another mishap of the last election

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...9yrs9Y

No, and there is little evidence that voter fraud even exists

 @9FQTKLK from Minnesota disagreed…6mos6MO

Until we require photo ID at the polling center and go back to in person voting we need to assume some level of fraud. We’re not doing what is needed to minimize the possibility of fraud.

 @8NDHZFH from Nebraska answered…3yrs3Y

 @5BD4K5QSocialistfrom Maine answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but make having an ID free for every citizen

  @jwolfsg1590Constitution from California commented…1yr1Y

People can't afford $30?

  @VulcanMan6  from Kansas commented…5mos5MO

Plus the time off work, the transportation, etc...and also, no, many people actually do not have an extra $30 in their budget. Poor people exist, a lot of them. Don't act like that's a wild concept...

 @9K4DS2BRepublican from Michigan disagreed…4wks4W

Yes, this will prevent voter fraud

Often there is public transportation set up for voting. voting is set up early in the morning, till rather late at night. If it is such a hardship to make it in, they have mail in ballots.

 @8HFKMFY from Utah answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but guarantee everyone gets ID and register citizens when they turn 18, otherwise no.

 @8MQHB9C from Iowa answered…3yrs3Y

 @97KDGPS from Michigan answered…1yr1Y

Yes, but allow exceptions for those who don’t have the ability to obtain one

 @59VC7RDfrom Florida answered…3yrs3Y

No. The only voter fraud that has been proved is perpetrated by political parties, not voters.

 @8MLN9XC from Minnesota commented…3yrs3Y

No, this will disadvantage those who do not have the resources to obtain one

No that is a form of voter suppression, by requiring a photo ID at the polls you aren't going to let millions of people, in low income neighbor hoods centered around big cities, to vote. Many people in big cities don't get there drivers license for they don't need to drive to work, they can take public transportation. So by requiring it that is suppressing the vote by only allowing rich people from the suburbs to vote i.e. white people.

 @94BQQXV from Texas commented…2yrs2Y

A driver license is only $25, I'm not a citizen so I have to renew every year, but I don't have any problem with that.

How come an American cannot let aside $25 every 5 years?

 @95R9Z7N from Washington commented…1yr1Y

While 25$ isn't much to me, it will be to some people. Also, there should never be a fiscal charge for voting. If you don't have, or can't afford a driver's licence, there should be a alternate form of (photo) ID available for free. We need it to get on a airplane, voting is just as important.

 @99C85KD from Virginia commented…1yr1Y

In states that do require a ID to vote, generally they offer a Free ID to use plus have a list of acceptable forms of ID.

 @95ZXVZ8Democrat from Washington commented…1yr1Y

Yes

How is 25 dollars a lot for a 5 yr period! I spend at least 40 dollars in GTA everyday, if I can afford that they can afford 25 dollars in 5 yrs.

 @9JTH9GX from Kansas answered…1mo1MO

Yes, and make the ability to get a photo ID more readily available and automatically register every citizen to vote when they are 18

 @9G9C49K from North Carolina answered…5mos5MO

Yes, but the government should provide one to all citizens free of charge and register citizens automatically on their 18th birthday

 @9GN5KWP from North Carolina answered…5mos5MO

Yes, but make them free and easier to obtain so that the economically disadvantaged can regularly participate in the democratic voting process

 @8LFWMRRIndependent from North Carolina answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but there should be a program to provide free photo ID for those who do not have the resources to obtain one
