In reply to the discussion: SOME Democrat PLEASE put forth a LEGIT Voter ID bill. [View all]Melon
(1,676 posts)35. I only questioned what you stated
I also dont 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 cant go your entire life and somehow you dont exist in the system. Their entire lives are undocumented in the US to old age? I dont 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

Do you understand that requiring an ID - EVEN a RealID - does not prove citizenship

Only 12 states require an ID that proves citizenship - and most of those are very limited or no in effect.

Noncitizens can't vote in federal elections, but in some jurisdictions, noncitizens can vote in local elections.

Thank you. As always, Democrats have done or are trying to do what they're accused of not doing or wanting to do.

Unless all states give IDs away for free (9 currently do), it's a poll tax
