The fun part is none of this is free. The proper way to do this issue FREE IDs for years prior to requiring them.
Lots of states could do this. The feds should be doing it (they already have a bunch of your info anyway). The republicns know this is a poll tax, that's why they're attempting to do it the stupidest way possible
How about a breathalyzer unlock dipshit's signal app?
Who, you mean Whiskeyleaks?
As european, I find it extremely baffling that you don't have to prove your citizenship to vote in USA. Is there some detail here I'm missing? Is it about how difficult it is to implement this in practice?
The problem is the US in the past has designed voter registration rules explicitly to prevent black people from voting.
This talk of voter fraud is a dog whistle. Election fraud is way more prominent than voter fraud.
Voter registration is handled at the state level, not Federal. It's a problem that has never existed. Just Mango Mussolini trying to Nazi harder.
Voter registration in the United States
(Emphasis mine.)
All U.S. states and territories, except North Dakota, require voter registration by eligible citizens before they can vote in federal, state and local elections. In North Dakota, cities in the state may register voters for city elections, and in other cases voters must provide identification and proof of entitlement to vote at the polling place before being permitted to vote. Voter registration takes place at the county level in many states or at the municipal level in several states. Many states set cutoff dates for registration or to update details, ranging from two to four weeks before an election, while 25 states and Washington, D.C. have same-day voter registration, which enables eligible citizens to register or update their registration on the same day they cast their vote. In states that permit early voting, and have voter registration, the prospective voter must be registered before casting a vote.
They make these things difficult on purpose
First it isn't an actual problem. In most elections there's one fraudulent vote cast out of every million or so votes.
Second, historically every single attempt to institute these policies has been done with the goal of suppressing the vote.
There are these things called social security numbers. The first three digits of that number indicate what state you were born in and there are different three-number prefixes for resident aliens and naturalized citizens. If your social security number starts with 050-134, you were born in New York. If your SSN starts with 362-386, you were born in Michigan. SSN beginning with 729-733 are for naturalized citizens and applicants for citizenship.
This only applies to people born before 2011
Finally! Hackers won't know where I was born! Wipes brow.
Wonder why they decided to change that.
National poll tax.
To be clear, you already required proof of identity at the poll but now you also have to provide proof while registering (basically asking for an assigned polling location) which is usually done online or even automatically but now likely can't if this order is enforced by states.
And just like that, F-47 ended illegal voting ladies and gents!
Outside the theatrics for his idiotic base, has anyone informed Felon-47 that this is already the case?
I’m all for boycotting companies, but when you live in a rural isolated food desert of a town, you kinda have to shop online so yeah…
That is sadly been the case for a very long time. In the 1890s and 1900s there was a saying in America that if you lived in the countryside you didn't have many books. You had the Bible... and the sears-roebuck catalog (yes they had groceries and grocery versions).
Yes, this is very true. I’ve lived in the same town my entire life and in the last 40 years not a whole lot has changed. In the late 90s we got a McDonald’s and a subway and about five years ago we got a Carl’s Jr. fine dining.
