Why not the Federal government, especially in federal elections?
In 1998, I read that Northern Ireland medical ID’s which were being used as a valid identification was being, “easily forged”. They had to take massive anti-fraud measures, thus strengthening voter identification.
Birth certificates and passports?
This is what you need for a State ID here in Illinois:
To get a State ID (specifically a REAL ID in Illinois), you must bring original or certified documents to a Secretary of State facility proving: Identity (e.g., birth certificate/passport), Social Security Number (card/W-2), two proofs of residency (e.g., utility bill, bank statement), and signature.
Now, to argue that people shouldn’t be required or mandated to have access to their own identification is stupid.
