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 guess the main reason is because of the framing. Republicans frame it as protecting the security of elections; Democrats frame it as voter suppression. Republicans essentially tend to see voting as a privilege; Democrats see voting as a right.

I think even you can admit that much of this is political posturing though, wouldn't you agree? I don't think any reasonable person can suggest that preventing non citizens from voting in US elections is a bad thing. But I get what you mean in that there is almost certainly some sort of ulterior motive for having this bill in the first place.
