An upvote is not sufficient to convey my support of this comment. Seriously, CA would be vastly different if people just showed up to vote. Unfortunately that never seems to change.

As controversial and as energizing as the 2020 election was, and despite breaking voter turnout records, 33% of the voting eligible population still did not show up to vote!

With Covid, person id verification apps became common. Can't they be used for voting? Instead of registering and going to polling stations, just get a popup "Do you want more houses built - Yes/No". Press a button, done.

No because such things should never become digital. Voting should never become digital or rather processed via the internet.

To get a National ID system done there should be an earnest effort to ensure that EVERYone gets one free of charge , at the fastest connivence and earnest effort and no future legislation can infringe on its obtainment and replacement. Anything lesser would be I adequate.
