Background checks to vote?
I have no problem with this!
I think if you went to a hundred average GOP voters (not GOP politicians), you’d find 95-percent would support this. I would also suggest that even around working-class Democrats...more than 70-percent would agree.
The trouble is that politicians and journalists will be the ones saying no, this is wrong.
Now, I will point out....to do a background check...you need to hit a national database, which means your data (name, address, social security number, drivers license) will have to be at some national location. If you moved from one county to another...it’ll flag in some way that you are still registered at the old county location. We’ll have to invent a mechanism that forces states and counties to deregister you. That will freak some politicians out.
The fact that we already force this upon people for weapon purchases...means it’s routinely accepted.
