That doesn't seem like an outrageous ask but then access to such documents should also be safeguarded, that is if the actual reason was just to prevent voter fraud/illegally voting
What issue is it trying to solve? To my knowledge electoral fraud is so extremely rare in general (article cites figures in the double digits since 2000) let alone non-citizen voting, what this is though is anti-voter legislation, part of their election denial bullshit
Votes for Democrats. The Republicans have been using voter suppression tactics to get elected for decades. At this point it's the only way they can cling onto power.
2016 GE poll worker, inspector. I watched an elderly couple look at the polling results from the machines then write down a different result on their submission to the county. Their problem was that they also needed my signature. When I refused they signed for me. When I objected to the Secretary of State nothing happened.
There's all sorts of voter fraud. But, it's not being effected by the voters.
Having such safeguards in place to make sure it doesn't become an issue does seem alright to me. But they seem to be doing this as a form of voter suppression.
Hasn't been an issue ever, statistically. This is the GOP trying to suppress voting
That's... what I am saying. It's like you think I'm in favour of their move or something.
That's the game, if dems were as unscrupulous they could do this too:
Republicans and Democrats going all out like this (or I guess Democrats retaliating in kind) would make for some interesting times for the US. Even more so than they are having now.
