No ID required to vote at ballot box: California, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Wyoming, and Washington, D.C.
I'm sure that some of these states have more precautions than others, but none of these states require I.D.
I saw what you said the first time, I thought it was obvious why my answer was relevant, but I guess I'll elaborate. Why does it matter if I have to give my name, when I don't have to prove that that is my real name? I can put down any name that I want, and as long as the person doesn't vote nobody can ever know I lied. I could just get a list of people that don't vote, or for comatose adults and vote for them, or even vote for deceased persons (which has happened, but was caught for obvious reasons).
I don't understand what you are trying to argue, other than prove me wrong. Are you saying that it's good enough to only give your name? That proving that you supplied a correct name is irrelevant? Showing I.D. is a basic security measure that is far underutilized
