I would say that the dismantling of human rights would be a greater evil than the things the democrats could cook up, but if you are not affected and have no empathy for others it could be better to vote for the republicans.

And werent the conditions to be able to vote pretty restrictive to a lot of people?

I live in a country where identification is required for voting and it doesn’t feel restrictive. On the contrary, I’m glad someone can’t just vote in my name.

  In the US the largest group of people without id's are Democrats and black.
  
  It's literally making the system more racist.

    Every black person has an ID, you have to otherwise you can’t do anything anyways. I have never met anyone in my community who doesn’t have some form of ID that’s valid in elections.

  In my country:
  
  We have a mandatory national ID
  
  Having it automatically registers you as a voter after 16 y.o.
  
  Voting is mandatory between 18 and 70.
  
  We vote on Sundays to ensure everyone can go.
  
  Voting in always in person. We usually use schools to that end, windows are obscured to ensure secrecy.
  
  We record who voted against the electoral registry. Only the last issued national ID is valid to vote.

    Not such: we’re in Latin America and we have a multitude of other problems.
