[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is crazy because the law is very clear: no messing with voter rolls within 90 days of a federal election. The state has 640 days between elections to clean up the rolls.

Basically, the SC just invalidated a very straight forward law. By fiat.

Also, I'm worried that this opens the floodgates to other states tossing 10's of thousands off the voter rolls between now and Election Day.

Early vote NOW![/quote]

whats even crazier is that you don't need photo id to vote in Virginia, it says the following, a fricking utility bill lol which doesn't validate citizenship, so imagine if someone illegally is registered they could vote.

Accepted Forms of ID for Voting:

[list][b]Voter Confirmation Documents: Proof of Citizenship Required: [u]NO[/u][/b]. Voter confirmation documents are issued upon registration, and proof of citizenship is generally only checked at the time of initial registration (not for every voter action).[/list]

[list][b]Valid Virginia Driver's License: Proof of Citizenship Required: [u]NO[/u][/b]. Virginia driver’s licenses do not typically require proof of citizenship—just proof of residency in the state.[/list]

[list][b]Valid United States Passport: Proof of Citizenship Required: [u]YES[/u][/b]. A U.S. passport does require proof of citizenship at the time of issuance.[/list]

[list][b]Other Government-Issued ID by the Commonwealth of Virginia or the United States (excluding Driver Privilege Cards and Identification Privilege Cards): Proof of Citizenship Required: [u]NO[/u][/b]. Most other state-issued or U.S. government IDs, aside from passports, do not require proof of citizenship—only proof of residency or legal presence is needed.[/list]

[list][b]Valid Student ID Card from Higher Education Institutions or Private Schools in Virginia: Proof of Citizenship Required: [u]NO[/u][/b]. Student IDs are issued by educational institutions and do not verify citizenship.[/list]

[list][b]Valid Student ID Card with Photo from Higher Education Institutions in Other U.S. States or Territories: Proof of Citizenship Required: [u]NO[/u][/b]. Out-of-state student IDs do not require proof of citizenship for issuance.[/list]

[list][b]Valid Employee ID Card with Photo from the Voter’s Employer: Proof of Citizenship Required: [u]NO[/u][/b]. Employee IDs are issued by employers to confirm employment and do not require proof of citizenship.[/list]

[list][b]A Copy of a Current Utility Bill, Bank Statement, Government Check, Paycheck, or Other Government Document with Voter's Name and Address: Proof of Citizenship Required: [u]NO[/u][/b]. These documents serve as proof of residence or identity but do not verify citizenship.[/list]

If an individual is already registered to vote, these forms of ID simply validate their registration on election day; they do not serve as proof of citizenship. Therefore, someone could validate their registration without needing to prove citizenship if they were previously registered through valid or possibly erroneous means. This setup focuses on confirming the identity of registered voters rather than verifying their citizenship status at the polls.

Ultimately, this means that the focus on election day is to ensure registered voters are who they say they are, not to re-confirm their eligibility based on citizenship.

There is no proof citizenship ID other than a US passport. If you want to advocate for a free national ID card available only to citizens, be my guest. [/quote]

No we can just use passports.[/quote]
How is a citizen who was improperly removed from the voter rolls going to obtain a passport before the election? [/quote]

People above are talking about a national ID not this particular case.[/quote]
