What’s wrong with proving citizenship to vote?

What’s wrong with under penalty of perjury simply attesting that you are a citizen and qualified to vote? Where is all the fraud (besides the few GOP ones) you are pretending to be concerned about? The little amount of voter fraud in USA is statistically irrelevant. You just want to make it harder for poor people and minorities to vote, stop wasting our time.

Mainly, because when ~50% of the voters have an issue the other ~50% seem to not want to investigate.

How does being poor, or a minority make it any harder to vote? This is an overused, bs argument. Anybody who is legally able to vote can easily produce ID to prove it. Why do people like you always talk like poor people, or minorities are too helpless or stupid to get valid ID? These same people obviously use ID to do any number of things. Buy alcohol, firearms, rent/buy a home, buy a car, etc. Literally all of those things require ID and nobody complains. It’s only when it comes to voting that there’s any sort of issue.

Helpless and stupid? That’s your language, normal GOP projection. Texas currently is having issues with demanding voters provide the exact same ID and name (middle initials etc.) as when they originally registered to vote, often decades past. People like you are pissed off when they get booted off of rolls, it’s only supposed to hurt the marginalized. Whatever, try as you might the country is changing, with the great boomer die off just a decade away.

So the 95 year old in a nursing home memory care unit is legally able to vote. They can easily produce their ID to prove it. Sure....

Gotta love the disconnect. Republicans want people to prove citizenship and jump through hoops to be able to vote and at the same time to have to do absolutely nothing at all to purchase weapons.

But you do have to prove citizenship/legal residency and firearm ownership eligibility when you purchase a firearm from an FFL already.
Edit: also you didn’t answer the question, just deflect to a different subject

Yeah and republicans don't want to have to even do that much to get a firearm. They want to repeal the National Firearms Act of 1934, the Gun Control Act of 1968, the Firearms Owners Protection act of 1986 and they refused to vote to re-authorize the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 and allowed it to sunset in 2004. Which if that were not allowed to sunset then the shooter in Uvalde wouldn't have been able to easily purchase weapons for his 18th birthday.
Meanwhile republicans are at the same time totally OK with letting the supreme court sunset huge portions of the Voting Rights Act of 1968 so that states can go back to doing what they did before the act was passed and make it harder for people to vote.
Make it hard for people to vote, make it easy for people to get guns. That's what republicans are all about.

At least we voted blue last time. Fann is from the town I used to live in. I used to cook at a restaraunt she frequented. Quite a rude woman.
I would have spit in her food
