The funding bill was paired with an unrelated voting bill that would require Americans to provide proof of citizenship when they register to vote and require states to purge non-citizens from their registration lists
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.
30 suspected illegal votes out of 25 million!!! Fucking what are we doing here?
setting the stage for the next coup attempt?

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.
