What are the practical benefits we're supposed to get from the RealID system? All I've ever heard is "national security" which is the excuse for every harmful thing.


For example, all those stupid voter debates becomes moot.


RealID has nothing to do with voting. Residency and citizenship is already verified when you register to vote. RealID is not a requirement to vote.


For started, we stop talking about "Is Real ID worth it" and annual "Real ID for sure will be required next year"


Cancelling RealID would have those same benefits.
