Maybe with their driver license! (cue more shock and horror)
The whole mask debate kind of fell apart during covid though, turns out society just keeps running as normal if people mask their faces.
traditionally when you check someone's id you're supposed to match their face to the picture
in-person voter fraud basically doesn't exist though.
in-person voter fraud is protected by the sheer impracticality of it. Imagine how much effort you would have to go through on voting day to do it, and the most you could possibly do it cast like, what, a dozen extra votes in other people's names? It just takes too long! That's why ballot stuffing and fucking with the counting machines are the things people actually worry about.
But a driver's license has a photo on it, and (I assume) they check to see if it resembles the person standing there presenting it.
Another woman can see their face uncovered.
