California's voter registration asks you identify w/numbers unique to your person (on registration), numbers linked to your eligibility. Yes the SS agency knows who they're issuing SS#'s to and yes most states when issuing ID's will establish citizenship to issue the correct IDs. California does not require voters to present photo identification. However, some voters may be asked to show a form of identification when voting if they are voting for the first time after registering to vote by mail and did not provide a driver license number, California identification number, or the last four digits of their social security number.[1][2] The following list of accepted ID was current as of August 2022.

The person in this article doesn't complain anywhere about not being able to vote. Instead, he says: “It was pretty hard,” Giddings, now 58, said. “You can’t go to the doctor. I couldn’t cash any checks. I couldn’t apply for food stamps.” So yeah, where are all the liberals up in arms because he can't go to the doctor or apply for food stamps? If you are saying I'm painting a broad brush of whether someone cares about being able to vote, show me some. Show me some people actually saying they are being disenfranchised from voting because they can't get an ID. Most people who want to vote, can get an ID if they want. You'll see plenty of media articles claiming it is widespread, but it isn't. Instead, people like Giddings in your article care about getting basic care - that IS a problem. Voting isn't in the top 10 for people like Giddings. Ah. "Signature matching". I'm sure that's a wonderful idea, but the ability to match signatures is lunacy. People in my office can't even match my signature of check signing. And they're really motivated to do so. Voting authorities couldn't care less for the most part. Oh yeah? What about someone going to a nursing home to collect all the ballots mailed for the elderly and filling them all out, getting some signatures from the elderly and sending them all in? Apartment buildings? By the time the real people complain (if they ever do) that they've not received a ballot, its over and done with. Thank you. I'm not sure when it started. But both parties do it regularly. And that's the point.
Again (I have to say this over and over again because either people don't want to hear it or don't have an answer) the original colonists were "fucking traitors" to England as well. But you're OK with that revolution.
Yes, and what's your point? Americans are ok with that revolution because that's how America came to be. The secessionists attempted to break from America to preserve their right to own slave and save their cotton industry. So yes, they were traitors who attacked the US government and killed US troops. What is so hard there for you to understand? No country in the world puts secessionists on pedestals, unless the secession led to independence and creation of a new country. But this isn't the case in the US. If anything, any remnants of the secession should have been eradicated and the whole affair left for textbooks to mention as America's darkness hour.
Yeah, I’m gonna bow out, seems like you are triggered and further rational discussion is no longer possible.
