Counter demonstrations
Surely they will also advocate to make proof of citizenship easily accessible
I am a citizen of this country and I absolutely will prove it at the ballot box, so fuc- you FELON!
Claim fraud and send in the National Guard that’s what coming.
If Merriam-Webster needed a description of Voter Suppression it makes sense to subtext “Republican Party” and “Project 2025”
Then we also make sure everyone is registered and provides this info. We can’t just fight this, we have to have plan b.
Why aren’t left wing groups doing the same? Why do we have such an issue with real activism to protect our rights? Thank you for all you do.
Use the same tactics, that’s used against us. They purge our voters we purge their voters. We stop when they stop.
It sounds like this is bad? I’ll be able to vote soon. I have a license and birth certificate. What else do I need?
That should be fine
To be safe, get a passport.
WINNING!!!! 😍
Fight back.
Of course they are. Then, they'll move on to destroying the documentary proof possessed by "undesirable" citizens and creating a rules regime that offers them plenty of opportunities to challenge the authenticity of the documentary proof "undesirable" citizens do manage to produce.
A bullshit "law" it can't enforce, but who targets groups that sign up democratic voters.
states rule ✅
I am so ashamed of our country right now.
What is wrong with that?
Do you remember the save act? Where women's names do not match their birth certificates so they want to block them from voting even IF they can get a birth certificate. Also, some states do not give certified copies or they are questioned. So there are already multiple checks on each ballot
That would affect the outcome with computers, and finally I look at it from a forensic point of view if this vote changes the outcome. No illegal voting is changing the outcome. This is purely voter suppression.
If the laws constantly fails us what should we be doing with these people? Sit and watch?
Nope. But the country isn't *quite* there.
I think we came across someone with a petition from a right-wing group at a rest area heading up north in MI. Did not sign. I just said I needed to do more research. We don't need to make voting even more impossible and costly.
47 just appointed another crony to voter registration board (sorry I don’t remember her name but I posted it recently). The article listed dubious nonsense credentials and I had to pass it forward before I became physically ill. Just more ChaosCronySoup! 🆘🇺🇸🤬🤮
I wonder how many MAGA can actually find their birth certificates? Federal election changes would affect them too🤡
Well, like in NAZI Germany better have your papers!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If i make any spelling errors in the next couple of days bear with me i had surgery today so only using one hand. This is some scary ass shit. Are they using HITLER 's by the book strategies? We have become a fascist country in plain sight. Nothing we are doing is working, or am I just fucked up ?
They want to make it hard for people to vote so they can win.
I have no idea what this federal registration is — each state has their own voter registration process and it usually requires a birth certificate or passport. Is this for expats or military living overseas?
Breaking: only white, male Christian Republicans can vote. Opinion: Klarence Thomas. @nytpitchbot.bsky.social
Do all the Maga folks have documentary proof of citizenship? Bet not.
Something that isn’t even necessary anything but doing what is Right
But they keep moving the goal posts on what constitutes a “citizen”
Maybe we need to issue free photo IDs at birth, same time we issue a birth certificate.
The Real ID only verifies citizenship in something like 5 States.
And remember when conservatives tried to get everyone up in arms about that when people would have Enhanced IDs? They'd say they weren't actually Real ID compliant when they definitely are as you have to have enough docs for Real ID + citizenship? We're in the dumbest timeline. :)
A lot of people still don’t know what the Enhanced IDs are.
It's one thing to not know because you've never seen it but then I've been in chats where people think 5 states are circumventing Real ID b/c apparently Google doesn't work on their computers
🔦🥊⏰️
And can a felon vote? Asking for a friend
Yep
What document proves your a citizen birth cert?
Watch them refuse to acknowledge my X gender passport as proof of citizenship.
Republicans refuse to issue Americans FREE PASSPORTS, yet are now demanding to “see our papers.”
Ttttttthhhhheeennn leftist groups should be mobilizing activists to pressure a top federal voting agency to leave it as-is or face a shit storm of lawsuits.
Do any of those right wing monkeys have proof? I'm guessing not.
Texas already requires a copy of your birth certificate for a driver's license. But what's this about a federal form?
Cheaters
What is a federal voter registration form?
The Reich is very gullible to the whims of Fox News. Sad and dumb at the same time.
any recent studies/evidence that enhanced voting registration requirements will favor R's?
What is wrong with the Republicans. They are so afraid they will lose the next elections. Doing everything possible to fix it in their favor. What up. Don't you think the citizens still want you in office. You say you are doing a great job and Americans are getting richer. Let it ride if it's true.
I wasn't even aware there IS a federal registration form.
Yeah, what the heck is a federal registration form!?
I’m curious too. Elections are carried out by the states. Why would there be such a thing?
The article documents Trump’s attempt to interfere in elections, but it doesn’t talk about a specific form.
Seems Bill Clinton signed a law in 1993 that gives people the option of registering for elections by mail using a national form that the state individual states have to accept.
So it isn't a federal registration per se, nor a requirement, just an option intended to make registration easier, especially for soldiers overseas.
Thanks for researching!!
This not going to slow down. Be vigilant. #Solidarity
How many of these MAGATs have a birth certificate or know how to get one?
What is the link to make a public comment? Having trouble finding this one.
Federal voter registration?
Outrageous!!
bsky.app/profile/rock... release the epstein files
Will right wing zombies have to prove their citizenship? I’ll bet not.
You can’t vote in any other country if you’re not a citizen, why would you want that here?
It’s a fear based on things that don’t exist. These claims aren’t based in reality, as you can see from previous audits widely available to the public
Screw that
I have to wonder, can the people proposing (similar with the SAVE Act) even pass the test we give people who are applying for citizenship? Voting is at the local level (city, county, state) and we elect representatives (for House and Senate) to vote on federal issues. RealID already exists.
I think they might be overestimating the documentation of their blue collar supporters.
While trying to pass laws rescinding our passports used to prove citizenship.
This! The ability to summarily revoke passports is bad enough, but not enough folks are making the connection to the coming elections, esp if the SAVE Act passes.
🤬
Ironically these laws will make it impossible for rural Republicans to vote.
Changing the federal form will trigger changes at each state, in effect disenfranchising any CITIZEN without required documents. Name changes, etc., will automatically and unnecessarily disqualify vast numbers of voters.
Well.. if you have nothing better to do..
Is the form I sign at the county elections office a federal document? Or a state form?
Apparently the government issued forms of ID that are already required aren't enough. 🙄
How would they even fucking do this?
I wonder if these right wing weirdos know how many of their followers would have a hard time proving citizenship? Maybe they don’t want their followers to vote either
Understandable. If 300 million out of 340 million people died from drugs last year then there must be A LOT OF DEAD PEOPLE VOTING. 🤦♂️🤣🤣
Noncitizen voting in federal elections is already illegal. Audits show it’s extremely rare & usually clerical error. This is a waste of time & money: • Solves a problem that doesn’t exist at scale • Risks disenfranchising real citizens • Adds cost & red tape with no security benefit
Achieves goals: * cast doubts on results, if needed * suppresses non-white voters
It also strongly suppresses female voters of any race. It's the name on your birth certificate in the name on your marriage license don't match, you have to obtain amended documents. Took over 4 months to get a new birth certificate from the state of Texas after paying for the "expedited" rate.
Yup. They want to go back to white, male, landowners only.
It also suppresses the "whimsically political." People who decided for [Whatever but usually not a good reason]. Basically, the apathetic people that didn't believe us when we said, "Trump will absolutely implement project 2025 and p2025 is making existence illegal for marginalized groups."
I was trying to help an elderly friend get a copy of her birth certificate and she died before we were able to accomplish this because it’s so difficult when you don’t live in the state you were born in
Dems should start a registration push, helping every registered voter to get the paperwork updated. Also get all potential unregistered citizen enrolled. Especially in RED STATES.
And TACO is trying to take our passports away as well. Another proof of citizenship to vote.
Capitalizing on the ignorance of voters who don't know there's been federal legislation to cover this problem-that-does-not-exist since 1996
What federal voter registration form?
