The funding bill was paired with an unrelated voting bill that would require Americans to provide proof of citizenship when they register to vote and require states to purge non-citizens from their registration lists
Obviously it would be more secure if everyone was required to bring a paper form that they were given at their birth and most people don't even have or a super expensive document that most people also don't have. That would obviously prove that you're allowed to vote because if you weren't that would be too much of a hassle.
Isn't this already a thing? I registered to vote like 30 years ago and I had to bring a birth certificate. Mountain from a molehill to incite the GOP base
I never had to show a birth certificate in Washington State. I think when I did finally register it was through the DMV when I renewed my license. Basically just checked a box.
