      If you want to paraphrase me, at least do it correctly, “Well, we do this in MOST countries, so it’s normal” And yes, that is the definition of normal. It’s normal because it’s the norm. You guys are the exception. Not the other way around.

      You said ID isn’t required in “a lot of countries”, and then you provide a graph (without a verifiable source) where the number of countries you don’t need ID to vote in, can be counted on a single hand.

        You know, you had a chance to learn about how other countries do things. Instead you chose to be a self righteous butt. Shame.

            Dude says they’re Swedish though. But they did apparently spend a lot of time in the US…

              Here in America we have a term for blaming Americans for non-Americans acting entitled, it’s called ‘Thanks Obama’

          I know how Australia does things. You still need to prove your identity when you enrol to vote. If you don’t have any of the proof they require, you can have a mate that is enrolled vouch that you are you along with your name and address.

          The difference is that Australia is capable of keeping track of their citizens and are willing to verify your eligibility for you.
