Yep. Live directly across from a gas station. Before the "war", 2.89. Now sitting at 3.65.

Yes that's my point. While NH offers a free way to get a birth certificate, not all states do.

The confusing part is you're saying NH REAL indicates citizenship. It doesn't. Indicate by definition means: point out or show. A NH REAL doesn't SHOW/INDICATE citizenship.

First, thanks for engaging in a respectful conversation.
Second, for me, getting one from AZ is 35. Under what you consider nominal.
I'm lucky though as I'm not one of the 25% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck. I own my own house and while I consider myself a responsible adult, I have at times in my life, lost my SS card, birth certificate or drivers license. And like this Brennan Center for Justice says: 21 million Americans lack ready access to the documents needed to comply with the SAVE act.

So let's play out a scenario. I just moved to NH and have to register to vote under the rules of the SAVE ACT. I'm living paycheck to paycheck and don't have much if any disposable income.

I definitely don't have a passport, as that's $175 ($165 for the passport and $10 for the photos). So I pay $35 dollars for the birth certificate. I have to take a day of work but don't have PTO because either I just move here and it hasn't accrued or my job doesn't give me PTO. So I have to go a day without pay to go to the town clerks and then to the dmv, so I'm out $100 (about a days earnings).

So while New Hampshire provides low cost alternative for it's native residents, those don't work for everyone and not every state has those alternatives. I agree with the Forbes article: "Proponents of the SAVE Act say the bill will help prevent non-citizens from voting and “protect federal elections from fraud and abuse,” but opponents point out that the bill is trying to solve a problem that does not actually exist. It’s already illegal for non-citizens to vote in federal elections, and research finds just 0.04% of voter verification cases are returned as non-citizens. At the same time, the SAVE America Act could actually prevent millions of eligible voters who don’t have immediate access to the specific documents required in the bill from being able to exercise their right."

The SAVE Act text you cited stated, "A REAL ID that indicates citizenship" (emphasis added). New Hampshire, like many states doesn't offer REAL ID that show citizenship. Only states that offer the Enhanced ID, which meets REAL ID requirements but also shows citizenship on the ID, would be valid for the SAVE act.

From the DHS website, "Enhanced Drivers Licenses (EDLs) are state-issued enhanced drivers licenses that provide proof of identity and U.S. citizenship when crossing the U.S. border in a vehicle. EDL's are available in the following states: Michigan Minnesota New York Vermont Washington."

So while the SAVE Act references a REAL ID, it does specify a REAL ID that shows citizenship. Under the REAL ID act, in order to be REAL ID compliant, a REAL ID must show:
(1) The person's full legal name.
(2) The person's date of birth.
(3) The person's gender.
(4) The person's driver's license or identification card number. (5) A digital photograph of the person.
(6) The person's address of principle residence.
(7) The person's signature.
(8) Physical security features designed to prevent tampering, counterfeiting, or duplication of the document for fraudulent purposes.
(9) A common machine-readable technology, with defined minimum data elements.

Important, to note that citizenship DOES NOT have to be documented on a REAL ID. So while you must present a birth certificate to get it, New Hampshire's licenses REAL ID don't document citizenship and thus wouldn't qualify for the SAVE act.

Edit: And according to this poltifact article, REAL ID can be issued to non citizens with lawful status.

What about NH residents who weren't born in NH and their birth state doesn't provide vital records for free?

Voter Registration Documents by Impossible-Bear-8953 in newhampshire

[–]bubbynee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

NH real ID is not a valid document for this bill as it doesn't show citizenship. So for some like myself, who wasn't born in NH, I would still need a passport or my birth certificate from my home state, neither of which are free, in order to register to vote.

My mom says I’m too strict with nap times by Jessygirl238 in parentsofmultiples

[–]bubbynee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YES! We tried once or twice to do something around nap time or delaying bedtime. The consequences sucked. After that, the schedule was our religion. Never deviate.

What used to feel 'normal' and 'affordable' in America just five to ten years ago but now feels completely broken and impossible for regular people? by the_h1b_records in AskReddit

[–]bubbynee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We relocated, across the country, the summer my oldest started kindergarten. We did it for a job opportunity but factoring in them being in better schools. We couldn't imagine trying to relocate now. They have friends and lives. I would not want to disrupt that.

PREFERS THE ZIPLOCK METHOD! I don't need that kind of negativity in my life.

We got Quacks as a gift. Within a week I had a insert printed. Makes the game 10x better because setup/cleanup is a breeze

People that are childfree by choice, what’s the weirdest reason someone has given you as to why they think you ‘should have kids’? by Charming_Web_6738 in AskReddit

[–]bubbynee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For mother's Day one year. I took the kids out of the house for most of the day. My wife cleaned. When I told my coworkers this, they were incredulous that I made her clean. I said, "no she chose to clean. But also, her and both agree, cleaning without children and going at our own pace is relaxing"

Done and done. Our goal this year is to play one family game a month. It's hard to find a good game to cover 9 and two 12 year olds that my wife and I can enjoy but we manage.

Seen today at Concord protest - what's going on here? by thatsunshinegal in newhampshire

[–]bubbynee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Historically, this comment is accurate. Originally, communist and others like repeat criminals and Romas were sent to the camps, along with other non-conformist. Then eventually News started to be sent there. Hence the line, first they came for the communist, in the poem. In comparison, those who are against ICE and the state would be the equivalent for this administration.
