Voting in France: Paper ballots, cast in person; no machines

Yes, I lived in the U.S.A., and each county does things differently, so it is hard to compare all experiences at a national level.

And Driving Licenses are not the same thing as an ID outside of North America. In France we have an CNI (ID), Passport, and Driving Licence as separate documents.

This is one of my pet peeves in D.C. and Ontario, I can not have an ID card if I have a driving license.

Yes, but the US uses drivers licenses the same way other countries use ID cards. I’m not aware of anywhere that takes more than a month to deliver you a drivers license. DC for example says two weeks.

In WA state, they print out a temporary license on the spot. It’s just a piece of cardboard.

In Germany, they make your actual metal license on the spot.

Same in IL, which until recently issued permanent laminated licenses on the spot.
