//Even some on here said they didn't need to vote because it was only for their Police Commissioner.
people gave lives to get the vote lets not forget that, and one should do so.//
But I can understand that, emmie.
I would never vote for a Police and Crime Commissioner. The idea is ridiculous. The post itself is superfluous and its function was managed perfectly well by the police committee of the Local Authority. But more than that, they are billed as "independent" but immediately they were introduced the political parties began fielding candidates into what is clearly a politicised post. The offices provide yet another seat on the political merry-go-round for politicians to secure yet another place at the trough.
Yes, people did die fighting for the right to vote. But I don't think they had in mind voting in an election to an entirely unnecessary post.

//the republican states have passed an astounding array of voter suppression measures//
Yes that caused a bit of anger. Fancy stopping the deceased from voting when they had been doing it for years, and the illegal immigrants, who like to vote in as many States as possible so as to enhance their chances of amnesty. The zombie vote was free from media influence too.

“If I am ever asked on the streets of London, or in any other venue, public or private, to produce my ID card as evidence that I am who I say I am, when I have done nothing wrong and am simply ambling along and breathing God’s fresh air like any other freeborn Englishman, then I will take that card out of my wallet and physically eat it in the presence of whatever emanation of the state has demanded I produce it.”
The link didn't work for some reason.

coming back to some kind of common sense though, we all have varying kinds of ID that we use for various purposes....driving, making withdrawals at a cash machine, accessing our place of employment and so on.
I dislike and strongly do not support the concept of being required to carry ID whenever I leave my house or to have to show it whenever anyone who has the authority demands to see it, but I can see that ID for specific uses can serve a purpose.

I have nothing against the idea as long as there is no penalty attached to not carrying one. If required to obtain a service and you are not carrying your card then you don't get the service, simple. As there are so many smart phones about these days it could be also added to the phone. People with phones are never without them.
// More than 2 million UK voters could lack the necessary ID to take part in future elections, according to a government analysis of its flagship bill on voting rights, spurring warnings that “decades of democratic progress” risk going into reverse.
The plan risks disproportionately hitting older, disabled and homeless voters who are less likely to have such documents, critics said. US civil rights groups have warned it amounts to Republican-style voter suppression. //
