"require voters to show proof of U.S. citizenship"

I did this when I registered to vote.
Why do I have to do it again?

This is just extra paperwork that Republicans will use to reject Brown voters on Election Day.
Like the ICE gestapo agents who arrested the Brown United States citizen, claiming his ID was fake.

@#2 ... This is just extra paperwork that Republicans will use to reject Brown voters on Election Day. ...

Yeah, but now, not just Brown voters.

The GOP's true colors seem to be coming to the forefront.

Should women have the right to vote?

Their answer seems to be "no."

"This isn't right. We need to figure out how to keep single women from voting too." - the GOP

"It's not that much of a problem for me, therefore it's not that much of a problem for anyone."

These are the people who say separate but equal is okay.

Why do you have to prove it again?

You need a marriage certificate to vote?

You should give up voting altogether.
