What countries with a reputation for having sound democracy weren't listed? Off the top of my head: Portugal - ID required (https://www.european-elections.eu/how-to-vote/portugal) Spain - ID required (https://www.european-elections.eu/how-to-vote/spain) Belgium - ID required (https://www.european-elections.eu/how-to-vote/belgium) Austria - ID "might be checked" (https://www.european-elections.eu/how-to-vote/austria) South Africa - ID required (https://www.elections.org.za/content/For-Voters/FAQ--Voter-registration/) Chile - ID required (remove space for link) (https://chilereports.cl/en/news/2021/11/16/ questions-and-answers-2021-presidential-and-parliamentary-elections) If as someone mentioned "it's really hard to maintain proper ID" in the US, maybe that is the problem that needs solving, but I can't imagine having faith in an electoral system where one does not need to provide proof of identification. Absolutely bonkers, and such a weird stupid fight for democrats to be pushing for when literally ANY OTHER CONCERN would be a better use of their time. Can you think of any other major democracies that I have missed? --- Props to azuarc, the current Guru of the Decade.
