Can someone please explain to me how anyone in the U.S. functions without a government issued I.D.?

16. You'll need your birth certificate or passport

If the SAVE Act passes and is in effect immediately, except for the 5 states where citizenship is verified when you receive a RL
driver’s license, you’ll need an unexpired passport or certified copy of your birth certificate to vote in the midterms and elections thereafter. Many, many people will fall short of these requirements and be unable to vote.

In addition, women who took on their husband’s last names will need to produce a marriage certificate.

The more wealth your household has, the more likely you’ll have these papers in time for the election. And the majority of households with money are Republican, not Democrat. Ergo Republicans win again. That is the plan, anyway.

(Voter fraud occurs less than 0.001% of the time. It is an almost nonexistent problem. However, by trumping it up and getting things like the SAVE Act passed, the right is helped in their mission to retain power.)
