It’s not either.

At 8% of the workforce working for the government. Don’t you see a conflict of interest. These are ready made liberal voting blocks, and that is the intentions of the liberals. It’s why you don’t see too many conservatives in government jobs.

If you have no problem with this, than you have no problem with illegal immigrants being given amnesty and voter id cards. It’s the same thing. Progressives developing and nurturing locked in constituents.

Why not just ban anyone who has received any money from the government for any reason in the last five years from voting? I guess that means anyone who's received a tax return or a Social Security check are out of luck?

The states can constitutionally do as you propose right now.

Notwithstanding certain amendments regarding age, gender, and race, in 1788 the states were given the power to set voting requirements in congressional elections.

Article I § 2. "The House of Representatives shall be composed of members . . . and the electors in each state shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the state legislature."

The 17th Amendment applied identical elector quals to senators.
