This wasn’t a case that ID would fix. He registered illegally and voted under his own name. It wasn’t caught because government information is not shared very well between agencies in the US. Rather than the election officials actually checking, he had to sign a sworn declaration that he was legally allowed to vote as part of his registration, and lying in that sworn declaration is one of the things he was also charged with in this case.
That’s pretty much exactly how I feel. You said you didn’t understand something, so I went and looked it up and explained what I found. Then you started coming at me as if I were defending the guy. I’m not here for that knee jerk reaction. I swear, idk why I even talk to humans anymore.
The sworn statement is there so that when they get caught it is very easy to prosecute them as you can show they put their signature to a false statement.

“It’s not a case that ID would fix because the whole system is so broken that it doesn’t make any difference”
That’s what I read.
I’m glad that you can focus on such small issues. Other countries have functioning voting systems.
You seem to be under a misconception that explaining what happened is condoning something. Your snarkasm would be better directed elsewhere.
I would maybe argue with you if I had the faintest idea of what you were going on about.

Um, ok.
Letting criminals swear that they are not going to do something illegal sounds like an extremely naive approach to this problem

Their credibility is destroyed.
