state audits and data compiled by groups across the political spectrum have found no indication that noncitizens are voting in large numbers.
Basically, rules imposing additional requirements on voter registration prevent vastly more citizens from voting than noncitizens, since the latter aren’t trying to vote.
I’ve been saying for years that we should have an optional National ID card that you can obtain free at the point of service from every post office in the land. We have most of the infrastructure already, the training wouldn’t be onerous and an ID is necessary in the modern world.
Yeah, but Christian nut jobs will freak out about the mark of the beast or whatever shit.
Bonus: Christian nut jobs freak out
The irony is that they’ll do so while simultaneously having “MAGA” emblazoned across their foreheads.
Those same morons are clamoring for id to vote though
Basically like the dog in this comic.
No register, only vote
Sounds good in theory, but not when you consider that exactly the groups that the GOP want to stop from voting have local post offices that are effectively unusable for the vast majority due to being open only a few hours a year.
I’m unfamiliar with this issue, where does this bullshit happen?
Literally thousands of places. Some places, such as Trappe, MD they’ve even been without one for a long time.
Hell, some places can’t even get mail delivered, let alone show up st the nearest post office without significant expense for child care and/or risk of getting fired for going during working hours.
The crumbling and mismanaged (due to laws and a postmaster general appointment by the GOP) USPS isn’t who you want in charge of upholding democracy.
Passports mostly fit that description, but they’re not free.
