And a tip-o-the-Tilley for fellow Drudge Denizen, Danforth

This is something I've been screaming ever since I combed through The Heritage Foundation's website on vote fraud, and realized several things:

1. The plurality of fraud isn't by the voter; it's by canvassers, cullers, and counters ... none of which would be affected by voter ID.

2. When it is a voter, it's almost always ONE extra vote. NEVER any fraud at scale.

3. States average about one conviction per state, per year.

4. Claims of in-person fraud are wildly overstated, and extremely, EXTREMELY rare.

5. Attempting vote fraud is insanely high risk for low reward: obviously, if both sides do it at the same rate, it benefits neither party. What folks don't realize is even if one party did it at a 50% greater rate than the other, it would take 5 incidents of fraud to net ONE vote.

For many I think the concept of voter ID is mentally linked to citizen only voting(rightfully or wrongly so). I don't think it's out of bounds to have the position that only US Citizens should be voting in our elections. If I stay at my friends house, I don't get a vote on where they'll go for their family vacation.

It's technically a States Rights decision for State elections under the Constitution. I think if this ever happens, it's been in very limited circumstances.

At the Federal level, only US citizens can vote in Federal elections.

Just about 100% of this "controversy" is right wing manufactured outrage. Voter ID has widely been used by Republicans to disenfranchise likely Democrat voters.

This is still not even solved with voter ID since our drivers license or state ID do not designate US Citizenship on them. Also voter eligibility is already verified at the registration level, not at the voting location. I already show my drivers license and sign beside my name on their list when I receive my ballot at the voting location. Then I go vote, slip my ballot in a blank cover, and then in a wooden box with a cutout in it. Having to bring my birth certificate, marriage license, in some cases divorce decree, another marriage license, etc to the voting location is asinine.

Republican thought leaders know that Republican voters like KWRX25 aren't smart enough to figure that out.

Why?

Expand to say some groups of legal residents

They pay taxes they are affected by American policies?

Wouldn't investment in and subject to the impact of governing play some role in consideration of representation?
