House Republicans Are Set to Pass a Voter Suppression Bill That Would Disenfranchise Millions | “It’s a five-alarm fire for American voters and for election officials”
House Republicans just passed a voter suppression bill that would disenfranchise millions
it would require documentary proof of citizenship, such as a passport or birth certificate, to register to vote. The bill passed the House Thursday morning 220-208.
Nine percent of American citizens, roughly 21 million people, don’t have ready access to citizenship documents, according to a study by the Brennan Center and other voting rights groups. Sixty percent of them voted in the 2020 election. Close to 4 million don’t have these documents at all, because they were lost, destroyed, or stolen.
They probably just want to be able to take people’s papers when they come to vote.
No papers? Straight to El Salvador
It just passed in the House.
Democrats petitioned for protections for people with a name change and Republicans voted against it. If your birth certificate name doesn’t match your ID, you’ll be needing new documentation if you want to vote. Yes, that includes a married surname.
"Ah we'll just vote them out in 2-4 years and we can go back to brunch."
There are no guard rails this time. No guard rails! This problem won't just go away on its own, as this very bill demonstrates.
Republicans = Communist
Respectfully, and I mean this with as much love as possible.
This is the stupidest fucking thing I've ever read.
Authoritarian***
Huh?
I think it's a hamfisted allusion to the fact that Communists who ironically are Leninist and not communist. Are authoritarians like Republicans. Though who knows
