> Voting is a right, driving/flying/etc are not. Getting a driver's license is more about certifying your ability to drive than your identity.

Bearing arms is also a right, and yet there are all sorts of restrictions on the exercise of that right.

The defining characteristic of "Democracy" is that everyone gets to vote.

In the case of voting it doesn’t matter the identity of the voter. It just matters that they are in fact eligible to vote in that district and are indeed only voting once.

Without some form of ID or some one-time-use voucher that can only be obtained by eligible voters, how could anyone trust the veracity of the system? Honor system? Seems weak.
