I thought you democrats wanted to make voting easier?

Well, for one, [BLEEP] Democrats. Two, the second ID number on the ballot itself is the second factor. Without the PIN matching that number, the ballot is rejected. If anything, you Republicans should love this. It's way, way easier to exclude voters than any kind of true MFA would be.

You obviously don't know or understand what two factor authentication is.  I'll try to give you an example in simple terms that even a democrat like you can understand.

At my work in order to access a door or a computer I must present a photo ID that has a special code encoded on a microchip to a card reader.  The system will authenticate whether or not it's a valid ID and if I have permission to access the space.  If either fails then I'm stopped right there.  Then I have to enter a PIN or password which the system then uses to authenticate whether or not it matches the special code on the ID card presented.  It's something that I physically have (the photo ID) and something that I know (the PIN/password).

Voting in person with a valid photo ID is the only way to go with the few exceptions where someone may need an absentee ballot.
