This entire Georgia voting law kerfuffle is, to say the least, interesting.
What are the voting laws in your countries of origin? What about ID, registration, vote by mail, etc?
Canadians?
UK?
Oz?
Belgium?
Germans?Just curious.

Canada
You need an ID, or have a person with an ID to vouch for you

That page doesn't say anything about illegals from the USA?

We'll have to ask Robert De Niro when he (finally) flees the oppression here.

In the UK there is no ID requirement, except in Northern Ireland.
Anybody can vote by post, if they apply, and you can also apply for proxy voting,
British citizens, as well as residents who are Irish citizens and British Commonwealth citizens can vote.

Hasn't there been suggestions of problems with mail-in voting in the U.K.?

Taiwan does not allow any mail voting. You must appear in person at the location where you are registered. So, for big elections, many people will fly to Taiwan from overseas to vote.

Why should it? They hardly matter.

Here, you have to have an ID to vote. Vote by mail is possible and quite popular (in the last elections, >50% of the votes were via mail).
The election system is no political issue whatsoever. It's a complete non-issue.
