“Proof of citizenship for voting only stops illegal votes!”
What You Say
Documentary proof requirements block eligible citizens who lack ready paperwork, especially naturalized, elderly, and low-income voters. Noncitizen voting remains vanishingly rare in audited studies. Election security is real; disenfranchising paperwork traps are a different project.
The Stab
If the problem is rare, the solution should not be a mass paperwork tax on citizens.
