That's what the ID cards are used for, and have been for decades... Including for voting all over the world.

That’s never how voting has worked in the USA though. The entire idea of even having an ID card is relatively modern.

We’ve had voting for centuries, and done it without ID requirements.

Not sure how ID requirements would work in the several states that have done all-mail-in ballots for decades successfully.
