Another victory for election integrity. Why would anyone oppose this law?

For citizens....so before someone is allowed to sign up.for that right they should prove it is indeed their right. 

No, the government should prove it is not their right, whether they are ineligible due to mental incompetence, incarceration, death, non- residence, or non-citizenship. Poll taxes and literacy tests were outlawed by the Voter Rights Act and adding these additional requirements is a backdoor way of implementing them, in my opinion.  No one should have to apply for, or pay for, additional documents to be able to exercise their right to vote. Voter registration procedures should be sufficient, and if not, should be made sufficient, to ensure that only authorized persons can vote.

So when I go to purchase a firearm (exercising by 2nd amendment  rights as an American citizen) should I have to prove that I am a citizen  and that I am who I claim I am, and that I am not a criminal who is not allowed to have a firearm?  It is the same process....I come in and I show my ID and any other paperwork they require.  And that is a Constitutional right not a privilege.  

That's a separate issue, and I am not going to change topics. I gave my opinion on voter ID and I hope you will respect it. My hope is only that anyone reading this thread might think more about voter's rights, not that anyone whose opinion is unshakable will suddenly be swayed to my point of view.

Just 2 rights. Only one of which has always been listed in the Constitution specifically.  And if we require ID to exercise that one we certainly should for the other. This post was edited by my2cents at August 24, 2024 8:47 AM MDT

It's not as simple as that, but to repeat, I am not going to change topics. I respect your opinion,  I just don't agree with it.

No one should be forced to vote.  No voting is also a form of protest.
