It doesn’t need to be a federal law. Each state legislature should pass a law that will state that people must prove U.S. citizenship to register to vote. The same bill should require voters to show a photo ID, whenever they vote, in person.
If they’re willing to illegally cross the border, then being a registered voter and citizen means nothing to them.
I believe you are correct. Several states cannot nullify the Constitution by compact. That takes an amendment by Congress, ratified by 3/4 of the states.
States trying this, just may have their votes disqualified.
FOCUS ON THIS;
WHY SHOULD WE ALLOW MEXICANS COMING HERE ILLEGALY AS WELL AS THOSE WHO SNEAK THROUGH MEXICO ABLE TO VOTE AS WELL AS OWN LAND WHEN AMERICANS WHO GO TO MEXICO CAN’T DO EITHER ?
Phil, the legislatures of ILL, NY, CA, ect ect ect would NEVER pass that law which is why it DOES need to be Federal. “Blue” states need to have the Constitution imposed on them against their will.
Agree with Impy. Photo ID to protect against vote fraud should be guaranteed at the federal level. Otherwise we’d end up as a banana Republic, and Impy is correct that “safe” RAT states will never pass photo ID laws on their own accord.
I’ve long been in favor of uniform voting standards for all 50 states. We need to rid of the ridiculous mess of choosing delegates varying widely from state to state, for example.
bttt
Impy and Bill, you’re correct. I thought that, maybe, type of bill should only be passed by state governments. However, I just found that Article I, Section 4 of the Constitution states, “The times, places, and manner of holding elections for senators and representatives shall be prescribed in each state by the legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations, except as to the place of choosing senators.”
We need federal legislation outlining a US wide system that applies to all states to use for federal elections. Specifying who can vote, required citizenship documentation, and local house to house precinct residency registration verification. Performed by a bi-partisan canvassed confirmation team. And No provisional, mail in, or same-day ballot issuance permitted.
