It's overly complicated by design, and about to get moreso.

Here in the EU, everyone has an ID Card which needs to be updated every 10 years. We all have an ID number and need that to vote. It's been like that since... before I was born.
We can even travel all over the EU with only this card and no passport.
They look kinda like this:



Why don't you free people have that too, rendering any legislation like this into some bogeyman?

There a lot of people named Specimen.

It sounds overly complicated, I have recently moved house (in the UK) and had to get my driving licence and car registration updated, took about 5 minutes on line and I received the updated documents in less than a week.

I have lived in several different states over the years and going to the DMV for anything is right up there with having to have a root canal done - without anesthesia.

Somehow, the powers that be are making it even worse.

When we first moved to TX and went to get new licenses, it wasn't awful.  And they had it set up so that every other time you could do it online.  Not too bad.  But now they want to see every document you have to renew so they can prove it's really you.  I have gathered my birth certificate, my DD214, my marriage license, and will offer my first born in order to keep a license.  I will be 68 in June...I have not suddenly become an undocumented immigrant and I have to prove that.  Hell, one side of my family has been in the states since the 1650s.  

Perhaps I should bring my other grandfather's immigration papers...I have them.

Yup, being anti-ethic cleansing now equals antisemitism.
