In other countries everyone has an ID automatically. That is a requirement to use IDs for voting. You need a proper national ID system, not the hodgepodge of random identity documents the US uses.

> In other countries everyone has an ID automatically

(Splitting hairs here but) this isn't true: in some countries, but not all.

In some countries ID is an optional document you only need to acquire if you want to drive, vote or travel internationally.

Correct on the idea maybe, but their implementation schemes are designed to disenfranchise those less likely to vote for them.

I don't believe that. Even in the most backward places where people can barely read they can manage to get an ID. If anything, it would have a leveling effect, by decoupling the voter id from things like driving, which have nothing to do with voting.

You are not correct. See the links in this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42116609

I heard this concern and looking at the MAGA it is totally believable. But really, how can a country disenfranchise anyone, if they will issue a mandatory national ID? If it is not national (state or lower) or if it not mandatory (voluntary and/or paid for), then I can see parth for corruption. But if it is mandatory national document, issued to every citizen without exception and only to citizens, then I honestly don't see where the corruption may happen. If anything, USA SSNs are much bigger vector of corruption, a proven vector of corruption, but again, like with FPTP no one bats the eye.
