Almost ALL voting is technically illegal. The Constitution mandates that ONLY American citizens be allowed to vote in national elections. Kind of hard to have a legal election if you are not requiring a proof of citizenship. Are they supposed to take your word for it that you are a citizen? The honor systems? Don't tell me that they check your citizenship when you register, because I have NEVER had to prove my citizenship. They just asked me to check the box saying that I am a citizen.
In order to vote one should have to provide proof of citizenship in some form or another, PERIOD. If that supposedly "disenfranchises" some, too friggin' bad, get over it. There is no excuse today that anyone living in this great country cannot obtain some form of identification. Anyone telling you different is a liar. And this pandemic is no reason for some to think they can get away with manipulating or cheating in the voting of this election. If you have left you home for any reason in the last six months, then you can put on a mask and gloves and vote. In Florida as well as many other states, we have early voting. I have never had to stand in line more than a few minutes, if at all. There is plenty of safe space in the actual voting area, and always has been. The room is always large and folks are always asked to wait well back from one another when processing their ballots.

Forcing someone to vote is not an option. Some folks should not vote, period. They have no idea who is running for office or they do not even care. Mandating voting is not American. Many folks are so ignorant that they base their vote on race or gender, knowing nothing of important details like policies or record.

Mandate voter ID that requires verification by citizenship. Vote in person if you are able. Absentee voting is an option and should only be done by personal ballot request, not by mass mailing of ballots.
