Trump’s Executive Order on Mail Voting Is Plainly Unconstitutional

Cool, people are in favor of maybe showing your license when you vote. Which you have to the first time you go to a polling place to establish your identity anyway. But this Act wouldn’t even make it so a passport is good enough lol. (Also Banning guns isn’t it unconstitutional. In fact you can absolutely ban ownership of certain firearms. That’s called regulation.)

Have you ever seen one of those polls? Neither have i.

They aren't, alot of people are in favor of voter id, they aren't in favor of the SAVE act because that isn't what the SAVE act does.

>(1) A form of identification issued consistent with the requirements of the REAL ID Act of 2005 that indicates the applicant is a citizen of the United States. >(4) A valid government-issued photo identification card issued by a Federal, State or Tribal government showing that the applicant’s place of birth was in the United States." …which is why so many are calling it a poll tax. **First:** As of this post, only about 50% of Americans have passports, and only about 56% have Real IDs. These ID’s aren’t free. Assuming you have all required documentation to get them, you then need to pay for and/or wait months for a DMV appointment (since most first time real ID applications have to be done in person) or wait for a Passport to get shipped to you. So you’re someone who’s wants to register, but you don’t have all the documents handy. Now you’ve gotta go track them down. If you’ve changed your name, you have to get additional documents to show why your current name doesn’t match your birth certificate. Creating, at a minimum, additional time barriers to getting registered. Depending on when you’re deciding to register, this may prevent you from voting. (This is likely a big reason Republicans aren’t fighting too hard to pass the bill. Because what group of people are statistically *most likely* to have changed their last name? Conservative women) >Of course you didn't READ the bill, you just spout media talking points. RealID is literally stated to be enough. You can also use a driver's license. License =/= real ID, and the text of the bill does not indicate a standard (non-real ID) State ID/License would be enough. It needs to be federally issued. **Second:** The bill requires states to share voter registries with the DHS, who can then purge the voter roles for insufficient documentation. So those 50% of Americans who don’t have a real ID or Passport? They can be purged. Additionally, they can be purged without sufficient notice to correct the issue. So say you’re someone who’s voted in the past 3 elections, you don’t think much of it, you just go vote when it’s time to. Well, all of a sudden you go to vote and find out you’ve been removed from the voter role for some reason (which *is, has, and will happen*), what do you do? It’s time to vote, which means you don’t have time to get back on the voter rolls before the election is over. Most people aren’t opposed to just showing an ID to vote. But it’s plainly not that simple

You already have ID with registering to vote so I don’t get the problem? This isn’t about what the SAVE Act is about though. This one is about forcing people to pay a poll tax to access a right to vote and intentionally trying to disenfranchise Americans. You might try learning what this act is trying to do. Why do you think so many people and even politicians are against it?

What photo ID says you're a citizen?
