4th item down ....


"A three-judge panel found the requirement to prove citizenship while registering is inconsistent with the National Voter Registration Act. The federal law allows voters to fill out a mail-in voter registration card and swear they are citizens under penalty of perjury, but doesn't require them to show proof."

I'm supprized at the lack of people being pissed off and not posting on this thread. I'd think any common citizen would be outraged at this but what do I know i'm only a reg guy.

There is actually a reason for this. It is in the constitution. By requiring proof of citizenship, you have to provide proof of identity. The only way you can do that is by paying for an id, which is unconstitutional- you can't be required to pay to vote. As indirect as that is, thats the deal. That is the reason. it would require an amendment to the US constitution to be legal. Is it a good idea to have to prove yourself? absolutely, but it won't happen. As far a using your SS card, that too is illegal, your SS# is NOT supposed to be used for identification, though many companies require an SS for id, it is against the law.
