In Wisconsin, most opt-out of RealID documentation.

Most Wisconsinites opt out of Real ID

Wisconsin adopted the federal standards, known as Real ID, in January 2013 and offered residents a choice between Real ID compliance identification and standard licenses and ID cards.

Since then, 714,003 Wisconsites, about 23 percent, decided to get ID cards that meet the federal standards. Those Real ID cards can be used for federal identification purposes, like entering certain federal buildings and nuclear plants.

Most US citizens. Did you follow the thread ?

The article did specify that 38% of US citizens don't have passports - that number may actually be closer to 50% or more - I would bet that air travellers are much more likely to have them, and somebody living on welfare in the inner city who doesn't fly would be less likely to have them - so effectively it may be around 38% of airline passengers don't have passports - maybe less - either way that is still a lot of airline passengers without passports.

That means most US citizens never leave the country.

Which actually explains a lot.

Which means the US has "States" not "Countries". I can travel on the ground from Boston to Phoenix and never leave the country. Someone traveling from Sofia to London travels about the same distance but may cross ten borders even on a direct route. Someone in the US can travel from the tropics to the arctic and "never leave home".
