| May 11 at 15:49 | comment | added | Gray Sheep | Just predict the future. It is not so hard, the hard thing is to accept the most likely long-term outcome, dear @Machavity. And that is the increase of the population of the USA until the point that it stops being an attractive emmigration target. This is already going on, best example is myself, I could have once chosen you and another country. And I have chosen the other, being much more close, with much easier immigration, and only with little lower $. Probably you won't be yet another Mexico, but that will be the direction. | |

| Apr 2, 2018 at 19:28 | comment | added | Tal | @Machavity It is not legal to murder someone, but it is very possible to murder someone. Murder also does not require you to provide your name and address to the authorities in advance. You are arguing against something that is already illegal, and investigated. Just because you put your name on the paper doesnt mean you "successfully voted". The simple fact of that matter is that the same politicians who will argue for "Voter ID" will also argue against free and easy to obtain national identification. They only care about discouraging poorer people from voting. | |

| Mar 27, 2018 at 19:37 | comment | added | bobflux | @Machavity and Evargalo Thanks for the clarification. From my perspective (French: have to show ID and be registered to vote) this is quite astonishing! | |
| Mar 27, 2018 at 17:59 | comment | added | Machavity | @PatrickWynne Might not be legal, but I submit that it's very possible right now | |
| Mar 27, 2018 at 16:48 | comment | added | Patrick Wynne | "As things stand right now, you could (by showing residency) vote in CA without changing citizenship (the state asks few questions of its voters)." No, you couldn't. | |

| Mar 27, 2018 at 15:21 | comment | added | Machavity | @peufeu Not in that sense. I don't think anyone would allow "tourist voting". But let's say you went to CA on a tourist visa and overstayed to take up permanent residence. As things stand right now, you could (by showing residency) vote in CA without changing citizenship (the state asks few questions of its voters). I'm asking what would happen if they just changed the law to that effect. | |

| Mar 27, 2018 at 15:06 | comment | added | origimbo | Would you be agreeable to modifying the title to 'US states', since otherwise there's ambiguity with states [nations] whose constitutional system allows non-citizens to vote? | |
| Mar 27, 2018 at 15:01 | comment | added | Gramatik | Well, the real question is whether such a law would be struck down by the Californian courts. The legislature is inherently more political than the judiciary, so I agree it wouldn't be impossible for such a bill to make it through the Californian legislature, but I believe it would be reasonable to assume the state courts would strike it down before this became a federal issue | |
| Mar 27, 2018 at 15:01 | comment | added | Evargalo | @peufeu : it is heavily debatted in this question : politics.stackexchange.com/questions/29879/… | |
| Mar 27, 2018 at 14:59 | comment | added | bobflux | Befuddled French reader here. You mean I could go to California as a tourist and vote without showing any ID? Really? | |
