I also don’t really what you are saying either which is a group of voters that somehow can be tracked to citizenship because??? They are old…but you said young as well. A birth certificate exists. A social security number exists. You can’t go your entire life and somehow you don’t exist in the system. Their entire lives are undocumented in the US to old age? I don’t believe that.

I understand disenfranchised voters due to cost of getting an id etc. we need to get those voters subsidized so they can get out and vote. I highly doubt someone goes to old age and somehow any record of them exists. I was asked for if last night to use my credit card. Yet someone is so old they never needed any of that…
