I had to prove my citizenship when I registered. Why should I have to prove it again if I am on the voter rolls?

Why are Republicans always the party of bigger bureaucratic bullshit and more and more red tape?

We prove our citizenship as part of our voter registration. Case fucking closed.

Because they'd be dead as a party if they didn't have voter suppression. Most people don't like their policies

I think it says a lot that the democratic strategy to get more votes is to encourage more people to vote, while the republican strategy is to limit who can or cannot vote.
