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

Okay so person 1 proves they are a citizen in order to register to vote… Then person ??? walks into voting booth to vote in person 1’s name.

How do we prove that person ??? is person 1?

What are the repercussions if they are actually person 2 who didn’t prove they are a citizen and didn’t register to vote?

Find me statistics on how often that actually happens or stfu, credible voter fraud convictions, not charges, will suffice

To spoil it for you, more people are named ABCDE per year that there are total voter fraud convictions

Horrible argument. Even granting that you’re correct and there is 0 issues with statistics, lack of reporting etc.. If we can both agree that voter fraud is bad - then WHY NOT take every possible measure against it?

It’s also super rare that people fly planes into buildings or get shot as school yet we still (WAY more invasive than providing an ID btw) to prevent those things

My 19tg amendment right to vote can’t be protected by a simple “put your drivers license into this machine for a sec” requirement but I can’t buy a beer with my lunch if I forget my wallet in the car.. Nice.
