Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So, among other things, this is a step towards the Republican goal of denying women the vote.
Women of course, but also poor people and immigrants are far less likely to have all of the requisite documentation. Plus it's an opportunity to snipe at transgender people.
I work with the homeless all over the country and the most common theme is that they rarely have all the paperwork to get their ID.
I talk to a lot of people who think voter ID requirements are no big deal, because they have always had an ID. They cannot fathom anyone living a life that doesn't conform to their experiences.
Honestly i'm gonna laugh when the 2nd gen immigrant vote turns out because they all have passports to visit family.
Why do you think they are targeting birthright citizenship? Just gonna declare all those minorities illegal immigrants and ship them to the concentration camps in El Salvador.
Also, I’m adopted…
My name was changed in the decree and not on my birth certificate.
I changed my last name cause I ain't being called the name of my fucken rapist.
GOP: Putting the "suffer" back into suffragette
Then the suffragettes should just go back to the terrorism they chose to abandon at the start of WW1.
No taxation without representation, you fascist cuntrags!
Every time some liberal recommends peaceful protest, I yell that MLK Jr. couldn't have got where he got without Malcolm X, that Stonewall was a riot, and if someone takes away my right to vote, I'm going to behave in the way that got my foremothers the right to vote!
alot of women, especially conservatives relegate thier voting to thier husbands, they vote themselves typically.
