Weird thought I just had.
So we've been in this insane virtual world, not of our own choosing, for over a year.
This has included "virtual" church services.
One church this weekend requested that people "register" before attending the in-person service, due to limited building capacity (25 percent or something like that, now that our county has gone to "orange tier" and is now allowing indoor dining and attendance of indoor religious services).
I personally find the idea of having to "register" for a church service a very distasteful thing.
My point being: I wonder if (all of the opportunity for rampant fraud being available) some people (individuals, not the corrupt local and state and national leaders) fear that a photo ID means their own ballot with their preferences will be linked to them: no more "secret ballot."
I'm not trying to downplay the fraud, just wondering about individuals feeling uneasy about having to show ID to vote if that means their actual votes will be linked with their face and name.

How would that happen? Right now, you tell them who you are so they can check for your name on the rolls. That doesn’t make your vote attach to your name.
With voter ID, you would also tell them who you are. There would just be the added step of proving you are who you say you are.
