it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.
mostly harmless
It's a crock of shit, that's what it is, and no mistake.

Why dont they just make Passposts compulsory? The system is already in place. Issue a simple plastic ID card with the passport. When the card is used at the necessary ID points it will display the picture of the person that is held at the passport office.
I suppose there are flaws in this too. But at least it would be cheaper to implement.

We use the equivalent here for many things.... great way to suffer identity theft
Edit: Is there any indication of the penalty for not carrying the card or refusing to have one altogether?

That's the stupid part about it, there will be no compulsion to carry this card, or at least that's what they are saying now. How much do you want to bet that will change?We use the equivalent here for many things.... great way to suffer identity theft

Refusing to get one will supposedly carry a fine of up to £1000, but if the costs keep rising I suppose the fine will too.
Still, if it is going to take 44 years it wouldn't make sense to start with the elderly, they will be long gone before they are compulsory, so they will probably start with the younger end. And if that's just for the people around now, add on the birth rate and it will probably take about 50 years before they get round to me. I hope I'm still around to "forget" it.

aren't they just going to make the terrorists get them?

That's a good idea.
And make the fine bigger if they don't.
