Date: 2023-05-04 11:24 am (UTC)This applies to the UK too. Which is why the Tories are intent on copying Republican voter suppression policies.
This may come back to bite them, though. A lot of older retirees (who overwhelmingly vote Tory) don't travel abroad and no longer drive, so their photo IDs have lapsed. And allowing Old Person's Travelcards as proof of ID doesn't really work for those who live in a nursing home or in public transport deserts.
Their attempts to import US-style gerrymandering by rigging the Boundary Commission is a lot more worrying to me in the long term.
