Stricter Voter ID Laws for US Elections

Since commenting on the state of voter ID at the 2020 US presidential election (see IDN November 2020), ID & Secure Document News™ has followed up with several other stories (IDN January 2021, June 2021 and August 2022) that demonstrate the overlap between ID, technology and politics.

Now, as US voters prepare to exercise their democratic right once again, we draw on an NBC News report ¹ to examine the growing trend of stricter voter ID requirements across various states.

Over the past four years, a wave of in- person voter ID laws has been enacted across several US states, significantly impacting millions of adults. The implications of these laws, their origins, and their broader societal effects are topics of intense debate and scrutiny.
