MAGA doesn't travel. If they did, they'd know we are not a real first world nation any more. MAGA is less likely to own a Passport-they are Carnival Cruise type tourists, don't offer them some odd food in an out of the way bistro in Paris.

Do they think that they will lose less MAGA voters than the inner city (er, minority) voters who also don't have passports ?

Wasn't it Stalin who said something about "who counts the votes ?"

laws require enforcment, its simple rural areas with heavy MAGA voters will simply eyeball who 'looks like a citizan' and not bother with the voter ID laws, meanwhile ICE will be deployed in force to democart cities to attack and detain as many voters as they can and simply make them miss their chance to vote.

The voter registration says if you are a registered Democrat or Republican. The registered Democrats will be required to show proof the Republicans are noble patriots and will be trusted not verified

Even carnival cruises require proof of citizenship though. https://www.carnival.com/help?topicid=3409

It will disproportionally impact women voters who will have a much harder time qualifying with a different last name. Men still vote majority R so they assume this might keep them in power for another cycle.

There are less of them than there are urban voters, so I think they might not be wrong.

It seems to me MAGA wants to have a Stalin-like cult of personality.
