The whole world laughs at Democrats’ lame voter-ID claims

Senate Democrats are fighting tooth and nail against the SAVE Act, arguing that requiring Americans to prove their identity with a photo ID when they go to the polls to vote — even when the ID itself is given away for free — prevents eligible voters from casting ballots.

They contend proving citizenship would make voting harder for millions who lack ready access to birth certificates or passports, supposedly disenfranchising black and Hispanic Americans.

Yet democracies all over the globe, both in the wealthy West and in the developing world, enforce similar rules.

Every country in Africa, for example, requires government-issued identification to vote, and 51 out of 54 African nations demand that would-be voters actively submit proof of citizenship to register.

Mexico and all 12 South American countries mandate government-issued photo IDs to vote, and verify the citizenship of each registered voter.

Mexico’s rules, similar to those proposed in the SAVE Act, require voters to prove their citizenship with an original birth certificate issued by a civil registry, a naturalization certificate or a Mexican passport.

Our southern neighbor even requires a thumb stain when casting a ballot, to prevent double voting.

All 47 European countries require government-issued photo identification at the polls.

Virtually all of them check voters’ citizenship against national databases, though France requires them to submit documentation, too — and the United Kingdom, Cyprus and Ireland reserve the right to demand documents when citizenship is in doubt.

And Dems love their NGOs!

My point exactly. And instead of using the NGOs to steal money from us, they can help protect our elections.
