She didn’t commit voting fraud. She granted access to voting data to people who should not have had that access.
Tina Peters was convicted of three counts of attempting to influence a public official; conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation; official misconduct; violation of duty; and failure to comply with an order of the Secretary of State. The jury acquitted Peters of three counts: conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, criminal impersonation and identity theft.
No problem with ID for voting, just have to make sure they’re accessible by all at no cost (both time and monetary).
Republicans proposals for voter ID so far have been riddled with ID exclusions that, while never admitted to, would exclude a large part of the population that they don’t want to be allowed to vote. Either include more types of ID or make sure to provide everyone with a voter id for free before the election.
My state doesn’t even require one but they send a little paper one every time I update my registration. I imagine something like that could be used? Homeless could use a library or shelter as an address for them?
There would probably be some asshat who would try and snag other’s though.
So yeah. Probably best to just stay without.
Tampering with voting machines will not be solved by voter ID cards… This is an unrelated discussion. For my thoughts on voter ID cards, see @flying_gel@lemmy.world’s response
It’s normal to require an ID card in EU countries to vote, but e.g. in the UK they never asked for it, as long as my name was on the list (there are no national ID cards there).
So now can we admit that voting fraud is a thing? Can we get voter ID?
