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!

Republicans can never win without ever bending some of the rules in their favor
It’s my understanding that only a birth certificate or passport will be accepted.
Considering a LOT of conservative women change their name when getting married, and a LOT of conservatives don’t have a passport, while many non democrats don’t change their name as much and are more likely to travel abroad… wouldnt this be a self own?

So do a lot of liberal women. Liberal women probably are more likely to keep their maiden name, but I'm sure most liberal women observe the custom of taking their husband's name.
The point of this is to prevent WOMEN from voting, broadly. Regardless of party affiliation. Many women who are registered Republican and have conservative husbands secretly vote for the Democrats, at least some of the time. I personally know a few right-leaning women who hate Trump, even though their husbands continue to support him.
It's extremely charitable of you to assume that these laws will be enforced equitably.
You just know they are going to enforce the requirement just like the family guy skin pigments meme, only going to profile people too dark or brown. Wouldn't be surprised in the weeks before the election they have polling places are going to word of mouth that they won't be checking IDs just so they can gotcha the non-whites when they show up to vote.
Oh, that isn't a problem. I'm sure ICE will walk people to the voting booths personally and point out the correct answers. Of course, failure to ace the test despite some generous assistance from ICE means you'll be beaten into a coma.
It's weird for them to restrict those without passports, that's their base. On average people who have passports lean left.
I'm not sure they've thought their cunning plan through here because their bubbles are composed of people who have passports.
Luckily states control how elections are run so that's currently just fear mongering.
However, acknowledging your concern, only about 50% of Americans even own a passport Source. While this article says only 9% don't have direct access to their proof of citizenship, I suspect that percentage is overstated.
President Trump’s false claims of widespread fraud.
awww. poor drumpfy can't handle losing :(
