RE: Help me understand why anyone would be opposed to proving citizenship in order to vote
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I've kind of found the notion that getting an ID is too difficult, especially for minorities to be a very weak, and quite racist statement. Are they suggesting that brown people aren't smart enough to know how to get an ID?

It might well be difficult for folks who don’t own a car. And under SAVE, having an ID still doesn’t allow one to vote.
There are a number of things you occasionally need to leave wherever it is you live for. Getting food, registering to vote in the first place, etc. Getting an ID that only needs to be renewed once every 10 years does not seem like an undue burden.
Under the SAVE act you would only need something you should already have. A birth certificate. Those don't even need to be renewed.
