30 suspected illegal votes out of 25 million!!! Fucking what are we doing here?

Obviously it would be more secure if everyone was required to bring a paper form that they were given at their birth and most people don’t even have or a super expensive document that most people also don’t have. That would obviously prove that you’re allowed to vote because if you weren’t that would be too much of a hassle.
We have document requirements to vote here.
That document costs about 1 vente Americano every 4 months, but we pay it as a lump when we renew every 5 years.
It also serves as our driver license, so at least that’s consolidated. And also our healthcare access card.
It’s normalized here for us. It’s the only part of American voting that seems weird, instead of just inefficient.
What the hell does a vente Americano cost, and why do you have to buy it every 4 months?
Do most people really not have a birth certificate and ID? How do they complete an I9?
There is already a requirement for a picture ID in most places I know of.
The requirements were a birth certificate or passport.
A passport costs like $300 so poor people don’t have them.
Birth certificates get lost pretty easily and take a really long time to replace.
its also not an individual state’s job to verify citizenship.
Your tax dollars at work.
Not for long.
Again? Jeeezuz
Right? It’s not even grabbing my attention anymore
I just always expect it.
Everyone expects the republican inquisition.
Their chief weapon is ignorance. Ignorance and fear - their two chief weapons . . .
You’re here commenting on it. It has your attention.
It has his attention like roadkill. As they were driving down Lemmy Blvd. they looked to the side of the road and BAM!
Isn’t this already a thing? I registered to vote like 30 years ago and I had to bring a birth certificate. Mountain from a molehill to incite the GOP base
I never had to show a birth certificate in Washington State. I think when I did finally register it was through the DMV when I renewed my license. Basically just checked a box.
Not in all places. Some allow just the last 4 of Social Security Number.
Republican officials fail to do their job yet again. Color me surprised.
Vlad instructs Mike
Alabama passed a state version of this bill and the total amount of people in question was like 3,000
Of which a major portion gained citizenship anyway, because the list is based on people who were flagged under non citizen status via tax reporting (ie mostly legal immigrants who hadn’t gotten their government ID yet).
What a danger to democracy amirite
HEY! LOOK OVER THERE! poof
Shut it down permanently!
… Millions of people would die. Mostly the poor. Is that what you want?
These clowns don’t care about anything until it affects them…
