Actually there are a lot of things different in just the last 20-30
years. You used to have to show up at the polls, on election day, with
ID and an absentee ballot required that you were actually unable to do
that or you perjured yourself on the application.

That's entirely up to the state. Every state has been different
historically.

And it used to be that you had to pay a poll tax to vote.

You can't win an argument with "used to be".

You can when responding to "Present system has worked for 200 years"


Perhaps, but it is the last ONE year that got people riled up. Any idea
how that started?

You can't fool all the people all the time. As far as working for the
last 200 years, sure, if you don't mind a dictator killing over 700,000
to make it work.
