    Apologies for not getting what the fuss this is about. But where im from there’s difficult to remember a time period where "trust me bro* is enough to register to vote.

      That’s not enough to register anywhere in the US. This is about disenfranchising voters.

      And “just trust me bro” isn’t enough to register in my experience anyway. When I first registered, I didn’t have any ID, so I submitted an affidavit, which is “just trust me bro”, but with the force of law and consequences for fraudulent submission. But that’s a very rare case, most people are registered with some form of ID.
