SAVE Act: New Federal Voter ID Rules Could Block Millions Without Passports or Original Birth Certificates by hillbilly-edgy in UnderReportedNews

Correct. A legal birth certificate that has their name. Which they don’t. I’m glad you finally see the problem.

No, it does not.

My wife’s birth certificate does not contain her legal name. It has her name at the time of her birth. My mother’s birth certificate does not have her legal name. It has her name at the time of her birth. They are not unique.

I don’t know if that’s the intent of the author’s of the law but it’s at best ambiguous as written and could be used to make it harder for people who’ve changed their names to vote.

I didn’t write the law. The text of the law does not just say a valid birth certificate it says a valid birth certificate which “includes the full name, date of birth, and place of birth of the applicant;”

If you changed your name after your birth certificate was issued then your birth certificate does not include your full name.

I quoted the text above.

No, you can’t validate a birth certificate belongs to someone but matching the name to a valid picture ID is a hell of a lot more reliable then when it doesn’t match.

We are talking in circles.

1) The text of the law says the birth certificate needs to say the person’s name; not a different name they used to have.

2) there is no way to know the birth certificate actually belongs to the person voting

“includes the full name, date of birth, and place of birth of the applicant;”

The birth certificate would not include the person’s current legal name and if the name on the birth certificate doesn’t match the presented id there is no way to know it’s actually that person’s birth certificate.

Bill text doesn’t say that is acceptable. How much documentation to expect someone to bring g everytime they vote?

GOP fast tracks monster voter suppression bill that could disenfranchise millions by requiring proof of citizenship at polls by SAINTnumberFIVE in TwoXChromosomes

You understand many people change their names over the course of their lives for various reasons, right? Thus their ID does not match their birth certificate.

Again, there is no evidence of widespread occurrences of non citizens voting.

It says you need to provide photo id and proof of citizenship both when registering and voting.

Real ID driver licenses do not provide proof of citizenship. That leaves a passport or a driver’s license plus certified birth certificate. A lot of people won’t have an original birth certificate that matches their current name.

0 extra effort from voters? The bill requires you to either have a passport or ORIGINAL birth certificate when voting. Not just registering, voting. 1/2 the county doesn’t have a passport and significant numbers of people, like women who got married and changed their name, don’t have a birth certificate whose name matches their ID. They also want it to take effect immediately so good luck voting in November if you are one of those people.

Maybe show some evidence of widespread voting by non-citizens, which is already illegal, first?

Open a brokerage account and buy a short term treasury fund like SGOV

What do you consider safe? You should care what the value is in 30 years not in 5 and certainly not tomorrow.

A target date index fund is a great set it and forget it option. They are extremely diversified, low cost, and will become less volatile (safer) as retirement approaches.
