If you're voting on matters of public policy, you should be in a position where the outcome of that policy affects you as if you are part of that community. Part of that is being... part of that community. Having an ID is a pretty good proxy for that.

Having an ID doesn't show someone is part of a community. All it does is provide a way for systems to exclude people.

Then communities should be able to decide who's eligible to vote rather than having that decided at the top and promulgated downwards.
