Funny how two can do the same and mean something completely different. Here in Germany and much of Europe, showing your ID and proving you are a citizen is completely normal in the poll station. But this only works because registration at the place of residence is mandatory, resulting in everybody having an ID. Voting here is SOOO easy because you automatically get a notice in your mail 6 weeks before the next election telling you the exact location and the date of the vote. Nobody tries to take away that right, nobody tries to intimidate voters, nobody tries to make voting harder. Quite the opposite, there are significantly more poll stations per capita than in the states, and you never have to wait for more than a few minutes to cast your vote. Name changes like when marrying is no problem at all. Why should it be? Now, when the orange gangsters want to introduce the voting part of that system without implementing the registration part, it's very clear, they don't want to make voting easy. Only they can take a good system and use it to introduce more obstacles into the voting process. How disgusting these people are...
