EVERYONE, no matter your political ideology, should be freaking out about widespread #elections interference THIS YEAR. Not the made up scourge of non-citizens voting, but the #voterID #SAVEAmericaAct which would require a birth certificate/passport to vote. It will disenfranchise millions of eligible citizens, especially #seniors, #POCs, #students & low‑income voters, deepening turnout gaps & #votersuppression. If passed it goes into effect immediately. #Democracy #news

@ErikaSumner Hello, interesting. Just to be sure to understand : #seniors, #POCs, #students do not have birth certificates/passports? What is POCs?

@alphabeta Great questions. Voter ID & paperwork rules don’t just ask people to prove who they are — they make eligible citizens jump through costly, time-consuming hoops to vote. Driver’s license/state ID cards are a lower threshold but 34.5 million adult U.S. citizens either don’t have one or theirs doesn’t show a current name/address. ID disenfranchisement affects the groups I mentioned more -see link. It’s a huge price to pay for a nonexistent problem.

New CDCE survey shows millions lack ID as voter ID laws spread to more states

CDCE's work with VoteRiders allows us to know more than ever about the impact of voter ID laws. These data illuminate ways to decrease ID based disenfranchisement.
