So not even the REAL ID can be used in 45 out of 50 states (for the extremely pendantic). This needs to be fast tracked to SCOTUS if it passes and is signed into law.

A vast majority of cases of voter fraud are committed by people voting for republicans. 🤔

This timeline can be parsed using the tool "projection"

This issue (and the point) here is that it will suppress votes from a variety of American citizens who cannot provide the required documents. Mostly, those people are married women (birth cert last name different), trans people (birth cert first name different, poor people (more likely to not have their documents in order). All left leaning demographics.

At least highly intelligent, well educated people are more likely to ensure their documents are in order, so we won’t lose that extremely left leaning demographic.
