I was curious after I looked into this prop. Unlike the SAVE act, which would disenfranchise a lot of people, Prop 39 would require the state to give voter ID cards to everyone who requests one which resolves a big issue.

It sounds mostly good to me now, as it could somewhat strengthen confidence in elections, and many countries have a similar requirement. The only issues I can think of are:

  • This isn't really necessary, and is basically just a random hurdle
  • Somewhat expensive, for no major reason The biggest thing is
  • bending the knee to trump

Is there something I'm missing?

From an access standpoint, someone would need to know they can request a free ID. The people who need the free ID are the mostly likely to not have the tools or education to request one.

Everyone should automatically be given an ID.
