It is never that simple. Voting by mail only works for people with reliable mailing addresses, mooting the homeless vote. At best, the US needs a combined system that will allow everyone the chance.
Address verification is likely only to verify that you're at the correct precinct that you were registered for. You don't have to have a permanent address to vote.
That could be. But, they demand my DL before reciting my name and full address. So...? I have no idea.
All these GOP schemes to prevent voting fraud or reduce costs all seem tailor made to reduce turnout of groups that are presumed to be largely non-GOP.
There is a segment of both parties that feel that people who disagree with them shouldn't have a voice - unfortunately it seems this segment managed to get a lot of control in the GOP while on the left side they mostly get relegated to the loony bin.
Both parties are super guilty of gerrymandering, but "voter fraud" isn't a proportionally important issue and it's been abused by some strategists to implement wide spread voter discrimination.
Sure, and motor-voter (which automatically registers people to vote when they get driver's licenses)[1] doesn't help people who don't drive. But both do enable a lot of people who wouldn't otherwise vote to do so. I would like to see the homeless be able to vote, but we're talking about 500K people in a country of 330M, so we shouldn't overstate the impact that would have.
