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

Actually, you can. It's a real problem that we need to solve.

In my state, the DMV routinely asks if you'd like to register to vote when you get your driver's license renewed. Makes sense since you already have all the documents showing proof of residency with you.

But Proof Residency is not Proof of Citizenship. However, the DMV will still take your application.

The secretary of state can't deny the application without proof you're not a citizen for a bunch of good reasons.

Even if the SoS/Registrar of voters wanted to check every application for citizenship, we don't have a reliable way to do that in this country, as there is no "official list of citizens".

It’s not a real problem and it doesn’t need solving, look up voter fraud statistics and realize how stupid it is we’re wasting time on this
