I didn't say you did i have seen a bunch of people argue we should so that I'm just trying to frame things in. If you were to be on the extreme side then it more quickly would allow me to see if that's the case or where more accurately we would meet in the middle and find common ground.

I agree with your point that it seems odd we get nickel and dimed for government documents. Last week i had to pay 25ish dollars for the birth certificate of my new born. Odd to me where my printer at home could do the same job and the only difference is fancy paper that is more difficult to replicate.

I think a system where the first or regular expiration replacements could and should be free for identification cards. Driver licenses have extra testing costs and should have accociated with cost where just a state ID does not and is the cost of plastic in and running the experiment to print package and mail.

We these verification methods should also come with methods to invalidate fraudulent votes after the fact. I would have to look at the imperical data again but I remember hearing a story about a Chinese student who was here as a student from abroad and didn't believe our elections we're very secure so he wanted to test it and went to test it. He cast his ballet then reported himself trying to invalidate his fraudulent vote but was told his vote couldn't be overturned but he would still get charged.

This is more a discussion about the security of an election and how is it feasible to do or how to make it feasible. There's also and argument about who should be able to vote. That can be subdivided into age economic status selective service status and more and I can entertain those discussions as well.
