For all those low knowledge people who want voters to have proof of citizenship. Under Trump's plan, the only suitable ID would be a passport or birth certificate. The birth cert would have to the original or a certified copy.
First of all, you need a birth certificate to get a passport; so now you're down to ONE form of ID. And many people don't have access to their birth cert. And many others never got one. And 70 million WOMEN changed their name when getting married; so their birth certs aren't viable.
This disenfranchisement is clearly intended to affect Blacks, Browns, poor, elderly and women more than men. Wonder why?
BTW, your REAL ID won't work; even though it lets you fly. It's only good in five states.
So there it is in plain FACT. And more, as Lisa Murkowski points out in rejecting the SAVE ACT, there are only six places in Alaska where one can go in person to get the needed ID. And Alaska is BIG. And Native Americans in Alaska often have no easy way to travel those kinds of distances. So guess who gets disenfranchised up there? And the same applies in many sparsely populated states.
Its a scam, built on LIES. The intent is clear; disenfranchise millions of voters who are predominantly Democrats. Cheat and steal future elections.
Kudos to Lisa Murkowski and a couple of other Republican Senators who see through the bullshit.
