Obviously, something to do with election. (Thank you I am Capt. Obvious). LOL

Maybe something from an election from years past?

Your conspiracy theory of the day?

(Pennsylvania is an exception)

Rephrasing: Every state Harris won had no voter ID

ETA: I have no idea if this is true (see conspiracy theory, LOL).

Voter ID stuff was a very common talking point on the right, leading up to the election. It's a useless hill for the dems to fight and die on. I don't think no-ID laws allow for substantial fraud in practice, but to tee up the fraud narrative like that is just stupid. In practice, I do suspect it's common practice to vote for friends and family who you know won't be voting, or who don't want to vote. And absolutely everybody would have to agree that such fraud would be undetectable. Safely maintaining the inevitable talking point against claims of fraud, that "evidence doesn't exist".

Interestingly enough, Ohio requires picture ID but the poll workers are told not to look at the picture, just check the name and address that they are on the rolls.
