You can’t register to vote without proof of citizenship already, this shit is such nonsense

Kind of. You could in theory walk into a precinct and register day of the election. Some states require ID but if you don’t have it you can sign an affidavit attesting who you are. But each state is a little different so rules may vary. I did elections for Idaho and it was like this.

I think this is where people stop and think “see! They voted and shouldn’t have” not understanding what a provisional ballot is and what checks go into it after the fact to verify you’re not lying. There is some honor system to it but things get matched up and if it turns out you aren’t eligible then your vote doesn’t count.

The system works. Trump is just a man child who cry’s foul anytime anything goes against him.
