Japan has a large percentage of the oldest people in the world. The country has been digging into this to understand what is special about Japan. The biggest reason people in Japan live so long is because their children lie about them still being alive.
No one has ever asked me for ID to vote. We just say our name and someone crossed our name off of the list in the big book of registered voters (it went electronic this year). There is nothing stopping someone from giving the name of any registered voter in our district and voting. Our judge of elections has had people come in and it turned out that their name had already been crossed off. They call the county who issues them a special ballot and they get to vote.

With half of the people wearing earbuds, they can’t hear you anyway.
