Answer:

The common arguments in favor of voter ID are:

  • It helps ensure a one-vote-per-person system.
  • It solves the problem of multiple votes by people registered in multiple states.
  • It solves the problem of deceased registered voters being used to cast a ballot fraudulently.
  • It solves the problem of non-citizens voting despite not holding the legal right to do so.

The common arguments against voter ID include:

  • Not everyone has a photo ID or the ability to get one easily.
  • Voter ID requirements disproportionately disadvantage black and Latino voters as well as the elderly, and students.
  • Voting fraud is not as usual as to require an ID.

Step-by-step explanation:

In some electoral districts, voters must verify their identity and eligibility before they cast their ballot, which has arisen a debate over this requirement.
