There’s Only One Reason Democrats Oppose Requiring Proof Of Citizenship To Vote

I do not have a Real ID....

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

This is total proof that they’re planning to cheat again in the Presidential elections in November. This is absolutely, totally maddening.

Citizens are being DISENFRANCHIZED.

Deuteronomy Chapter 28, especially verse 43. The ONLY solution appears to be repentance and turning back to God. Good luck with that...

I live in Florida and have had a REAL ID Driver’s License for at least 10 years.

What state do you live in?

So, when I go to vote will I have to produce a certified copy of my birth certificate to prove I am a citizen? And I am supposed to have faith that the 80-year-old volunteer election worker knows how to determine if it is genuine or not?

“Democrats will, however, be forced to explain why they oppose the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act”

What a joke. Democrats are never forced to explain anything. They just project the fault on the republicans and gaslight.

The Democrat Party has been stealing elections for 200 years.

[Bon of Babble]

Illegals are so brazen they are bragging about registering to vote:

Meanwhile, the s*** hole countries they come from have tamper-proof voter ID cards:

Blacks and other "minorities" should be highly insulted that they are "unable to get IDs in the U.S."

[RideForever]

You are correct in your assertions. The vulnerable point of elections is the voter roll used for the elections. Right now the back-ups for the voter rolls have the 'legitimate' voters. A new backup is made of current legal voters. These active rolls are receiving the bogus names of the invaders, up to end of the election. At the end of polling, the 'current' voter roll with the bogus 'voters' will be deleted, and the last backup, excluding the roll of bogus-enhanced voters, will be deleted and 'lost'.

So the place to look is the tape library for evidence of the bogus voter roll used in the election. THAT's where the fraud is. And audits should check this as part of the audit.

LOL, how RIGHT you are!

[Mogger]

The headline always says need to show proof of citizenship to vote.

This would be a pain in the rear to do each time you vote and the media = dems know it.

It is really show proof of citizenship ONCE to register to vote.

Not a big deal.

It should be explained that way every time it is discussed.

Fair enough. But what if I move, within the same state but to a different district or to a different state?

I had to do that several times in the last 15 years.

Will I need to provide proof of my citizenship whenever I change my voter registration address or if I change parties or move to another state?

I absolutely get and totally agree that we need to ensure that all registered voters are legal US citizens, I really do, and it is important, but let me tell you two stories.

When I moved from MD to PA back in 2011, when I tried to get my PA license at PENDOT, they would not accept my non-expired MD license even though it had the same requirements as to proof of identity although I understood they need proof of my PA address.

But when I moved to PA, I was living with my niece. One of the things PA wanted was a copy of a utility bill on my name to prove my address but of course, living with my niece, I didn’t have one, didn’t have any utilities, gas, electric, cable, etc., in my own name at that address.

And they wouldn’t take a copy of my cell phone bill with my PA address and then asked for a copy of my bank statement. But I long ago opted out of getting paper statements and had download and printed a copy from my bank’s website, which at first, they wouldn’t accept.

Then they asked for a copy of my birth certificate, but all my stuff was in storage at the time and despite looking for it, for hours, pretty much unloading the storage unit, going through every box, I couldn’t find it, and never did – I guess it got lost in the move.

So, I had to order a certified copy on-line from the State of NY where I was born but of course with a fee I had to pay, and which took several weeks.

But then after my 2nd trip to PENDOT with my BC in hand, they wanted proof of my name change, either a marriage certificate or a divorce decree to show why my last name was different from than what was on my BC.

I was married in Baltimore, but it proved very difficult to get a copy of my marriage certificate, even asking my ex if he had it, but he didn’t. But I was able to get a copy of my divorce decree only after I went in person to the Baltimore County Court House, waiting in line for hours, and paying yet another fee and taking an unpaid day off work.

After nearly 2 moths, and 3 trips to PENDOT, all the fees, the unpaid day off work, they finally issued my PA driver’s license. Once I got my PA license, I was finally able to register to vote but not before.

I was able to afford to do this but can understand why this can be burdensome to others, even for valid US born citizens.

Some years later I was working in PR/HR for a manufacturing co. in Lancaster County PA.

We hired an older gent, in his late-60’s. He’d worked his entire life for the same company, starting just after he graduated from HS until he lost his job of +40 years, but only because the company shut down.

But when it came time on his first day of work and to complete the I-9, while he had a PA driver’s license he couldn’t provide his SS card, said he’d lost it years ago and never saw a need to replace it. He didn’t have a certified BC or a passport or any other document that proved he was eligible to work in the US.

He laughed when I asked him if he had a passport and told me the only time he ever left the country or even traveled outside of Lancaster County PA was “when I married my bride and we went to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls but back then you didn’t need a passport”. The guy told me he never traveled any more than 10-20 miles from his home.

Sweet guy and despite his age, a good and reliable worker, but a “country” guy who didn’t have a cell phone or a computer.

I helped him find the local SS office and gave him instructions on how to get a replacement SS card, directions to the office and how to order a copy of his BC which I did for him at my work computer.

We also advanced him a paid vacation day so he could go to the SS office the next day. When he came back the next day to work, he had a receipt from SS that said his replacement card was being processed and that was good enough to satisfy the I-9 requirements so he could start working.

I’m not sure if he was a registered voter but if he wasn’t, he’d have had a hard time until after I helped him get his documents to prove his citizenship.
