County recorders have taken different positions on what to do when a voter who hasn't proven their citizenship tries to update their address or party registration.
A GOP push to require proof of citizenship from people registering to vote is on the verge of passing the House, and has become law in some states.
Pay attention to how it's gone in Arizona, where voters are getting caught up in glitches. www.votebeat.org/arizona/2025 ... [image or embed]

"As of early 2025, approximately 56% of driver licenses and IDs in circulation nationwide are compliant with Real ID standards. However, compliance rates vary significantly by state, with some states having less than 40% compliance."

So, yeah, when about 40%-50% of the population lack the ID for exercising a right they are entitled to under the Constitution, some might say that's a problem. Not you or the other MAGAts though, I'm sure.

Yes, there is a problem with using Real ID.
Another option: require new voters to show proof of citizenship when they register. For most new voters, that isn't a problem; they show a birth certificate or passport at the bureau of motor vehicles to get a REAL ID, and that proof can be used for voter registration. (The REAL ID is not itself proof of citizenship, because they are available to noncitizens who are in the U.S. legally; it is the underlying document shown by a citizen to obtain a REAL ID that can be used for voting purposes.) www.ncsl.org
