It’s about time... proof of citizenship to vote should be federal law, not just state.

...tens of thousands of legal residents who would find it difficult to prove their citizenship...

Legal residents aren't citizens.

Good, I think they may going for a bridge to far, that a ID requirement is sufficient and Constitutional, but at least they are keeping the issue on the front burner.

In Arizona, the only state that requires proof of citizenship to register to vote, more than 38,000 voter registration applications have been thrown out since the state adopted its measure in 2004. That number was included in election data obtained through a lawsuit filed by voting rights advocates and provided to The New York Times. More than 70 percent of those registrations came from people who stated under oath that they were born in the United States, the data showed.

How can anybody look at the denial of these 38,000 voter registrations as anything other than an unalloyed good?

It would be nice if the state made a rigorous investigation into that 70% -- and vigorously prosecute anybody who lied

Of one thing I am certain: anyone who’s been through the naturalization process is going to protect those U.S. citizenship documents as if they were inscribed on 24K gold.

What’s more, naturalized citizens are encourged to vote (and provided voting registration apps) AS THEY EXIT THEIR NATURALIZATION CEREMONY.

Finally, naturalized citizens are also encouraged to immediately obtain a U.S. passport and to carry their voter registration at all times. Why? Because both prove U.S. citizenship; they’re both easily replaced at not too much cost if lost;, and because getting a new naturalization certificate costs $400.00 and takes about a year.

Anyone who claims a naturalized citizen is unaware of these “tips” and is inconvenience by having to obtain proof of citizenship is lying through their teeth.

You can get a certified copy of a birth certificate off the internet, if you know certain facts like Mother’s maiden name, date and place of birth. I’ve done it for myself several times. What these certificates DON’T have are baby’s footprints. Possession of a birth certificate is no guarantee of citizenship or identity.
