Real ID can be used to secure elections like I mentioned with the photo ID. If the states do not want it, so be it.So how does this id change any of those state laws?
If photo IDs are currently available then how does this put them in people's hands who don't want one?

Like I mentioned, the Real ID was initiated after 9/11 when it was discovered that 18 of the 19 hijackers held a total of 17 driver’s licenses and 13 state-issued IDs between them.
But what does the real id do that current cards can't? That's the question you keep refusing to answerReal ID can be used to secure elections like I mentioned with the photo ID. If the states do not want it, so be it.

So can all states current drivers license or state ID cards. This does nothing to help "election integrity." It's just a bizarre justification for this to be enforced.Real ID can be used to secure elections like I mentioned with the photo ID. If the states do not want it, so be it.

I have answered it multiple times. For elections, it brings a photo ID to the table for voting. Over 50% of the states require no photo ID. Implementing this enhances election security.But what does the real id do that current cards can't? That's the question you keep refusing to answer
You have explained nothing. Photo ids already exist and are available at the same place. This ID has absolutely nothing to do with what a state requires when votingI have answered it multiple times.

I even found you an article that might help you as well. In this article, it mentions that it is not a DB, but a network between states so we can drop the federal DB stuff.

REAL ID Compliance: Enhancing Security, Respecting Liberty, and Reducing Fraud
Abstract: In order to enhance national security by reducing identification fraud, Congress passed the REAL ID Act in 2005, calling on all 50 states to meet minimum security standards for issuing driver’s licenses and state IDs. Seven years after passage of the act, and after two deadline...www.heritage.org
I think the argument is that the stricter verification process and the more difficult to forge Real IDs make the IDs presented more reliable than IDs that might be easier to forge or don’t require the verification to obtain.You have explained nothing. Photo ids already exist and are available at the same place. This ID has absolutely nothing to do with what a state requires when voting
How does this specific ID enhance election security in a way that no other photo ID can?
Nah. Real ID was passed in the mid-2000s, purportedly as a security upgrade in the wake of 9/11.It's just slightly harder to obtain which means slightly less people will vote which is their entire goal.

It was supposed to take effect in ‘08 or ‘09, but government efficiency, as always, led to delay after delay.
I don’t think election security had anything to do with the legislation regarding Real ID, but I am open to being shown that I am wrong.

Perhaps, but that may be because people otherwise aren't getting it.Elections had little to do with the original legislation 20 yrs ago but it's definitely going to be part of the R playbook to enact strict voter ID laws in the future....

I haven't gotten it, and don't plan to. I will just travel with my passport. If Real ID is required for voting, I will get it.
I think the reason is more than voting. I can't figure it out, mainly because I can't figure out what Real ID does for anything, except for giving Government more data points. Which is why I didn't want it to begin with.
Next time your drivers license is up for renewal you have to get one. At least that's my understandingPerhaps, but that may be because people otherwise aren't getting it.

Uh, did you read my post? I said I didn't think it had anything to do with election security and nowhere have I said Real ID should be necessary to vote. I simply stated that I don't believe electoral security was a consideration at the time the legislation was passed. If I am wrong, please feel free to show me.To board planes. Not vote.
