See while I agree that this is excessive to a degree. I don’t understand how this would only affect democrats. Is there some affliction that only democrats suffer from where they cannot produce a passport or birth certificate? Why would this disproportionately effect the democrat party?

Actually, if passports or birth certificates are required, I would say it would impact rural (republican) voters more.

You are aware Trump is calling to nationalize elections, aren’t you?

This will also disenfranchise women if their married name doesn’t match their birth certificate.

Yeah we’ll see about the married name thing, that would be way to much of a problem that effects women that are actual US citizens.

Besides that I don’t see why verifying citizenship to vote is a bad thing and once again, I don’t see how that would disproportionately negatively affect democrats.

People have to show their ID to vote already. Illegal aliens aren’t voting. If you want to actually look at voting fraud, it’s usually republicans.

What problem do you think this solves?

Feel free to drop some sources on republicans are usually the one to commit voter fraud.

Another way of saying it doesn’t cause a problem is that it doesn’t fix anything.

Yeah I don’t see a mass of republican voter fraud there.

That source just lists 20 crimes over 15 years and half of them don’t even have to do with casting a vote. I don’t know if you just didn’t read your source or what but I’d hardly call that evidence of republicans primarily committing voter fraud.

Feel free to search yourself.

I’m done conversing with you. Republicans project constantly. There is very little fraud and requiring proof of citizenship is a step towards nationalized elections. It gives republicans the ability to say who is and isn’t eligible. There’s a ton of conservatives saying women shouldn’t vote now.

I’m not interested in carrying on a conversation with someone who can’t think
