it would require documentary proof of citizenship, such as a passport or birth certificate, to register to vote. The bill passed the House Thursday morning 220-208.
Nine percent of American citizens, roughly 21 million people, don’t have ready access to citizenship documents, according to a study by the Brennan Center and other voting rights groups.

No papers? Straight to El Salvador
It just passed in the House.
Democrats petitioned for protections for people with a name change and Republicans voted against it. If your birth certificate name doesn’t match your ID, you’ll be needing new documentation if you want to vote. Yes, that includes a married surname.
"Ah we'll just vote them out in 2-4 years and we can go back to brunch."
There are no guard rails this time. No guard rails! This problem won't just go away on its own, as this very bill demonstrates.
