John Fetterman said that requiring a voter I.D. in Pennsylvania is "insidious and unnecessary," "outrageous," "illogical," "unfair," and "simply voter suppression." He says that concerns about vote fraud are a myth. Countries worldwide require voter ID.
Absentee Ballots
- Fetterman's claims that it leads to voter suppression are false. It increases turnout in other countries and the US.
- In Mexico, 68% of eligible citizens voted in the three presidential elections after sweeping reforms were enacted in 1991. Absentee ballots are completely banned.
Chain of Custody
- In all European and developed countries, strict chain of custody regulations exist for ballot boxes.
- Although the rest of the developed world also debates how to balance voter fraud prevention with ease of voting, there is agreement across the political spectrum that people need to verify their identities.
