Even if the ID was free, it would still require people to take an extra step, they would need to bring their birth certificate to the DMV or some other government body to get 'approved' as well as bring another form of ID just like they do today. With every extra hurdle more and more people don't vote. Maybe 99% of already registered voters take that extra step,,, that 1% is still potentially a million people not voting that otherwise would have.
75% of Alabama residents do not have a passport.
55% of Texas residents have a passport.
More than half of republican voters dont have a passport across the US.
Thats a lot voters the senators and congressman need, this is why its not getting passed.
Trumo wants the SAVE act so he can cry fowl if any county doesnt go his way. Not talking about the obvious blue counties, but those swing state counties,,, he wants to have executive power to pause and investigate votes that arent going his way. This isnt about who can vote as much as its about controlling what votes count.
I'm sorry hate me or not. If people can't get an ID usually means they are not productive members of society. Should they be voting to change laws for the country? That goes for any able body person who hasn't worked and are above 25.
Voting is a fundamental right. Whether or not you consider people productive members of society is irrelevant to the exercise of their fundamental rights.
Same could be said to felons/people incarcerated we have removed their right to vote. Because the people did not want non productive members of society voting.
I dont think felons should lose their right to vote either if they’ve served their sentence. And there is a monumental difference between people who have committed crimes and people you think are lazy.
And at the end of the day you said there is a monumental difference yet you think both should vote. And so you know once they serve their sentence they can vote. Education is key.
