In reply to the discussion: Republicans Want Voters To Provide Proof Of Citizenship To Vote. Millions Could Be Impacted. [View all]BurnDoubt
(1,362 posts)An OFFICIAL ID certified by the Federal Government if this is to be made a requirement for ANYTHING. I personally believe each adult citizen should be required to vote in order to be a citizen in the USA. NO barriers to voting should EVER be allowed. This issue has been abused throughout our history, from poll-taxes to out-lawing providing water to voters forced to stand for long periods in line to vote. Election interference should be severely punished. Suffrage is our MOST Sacred Right and MUST NOT be infringed. Failing this, the Democratic Party needs to make sure their voters are prepared to vote by consulting every voter ahead of an election to verify their eligibility and provide the necessary curative where needed. This must be a first-line strategy, and fully-funded. Then, poll-watching should be done to verify ballots have been turned in. Find a way.
