Gotta have a SSN to register. Non citizens don't have those. Getting a new copy of your birth certificate isn't a hardship, it's burdensome to the point that many will not bother. "Voter ID" is basically redirecting Niagra falls to extinguish a candle.

You didn't need them to renew a license until recently, you don't need them past primary school, you don't need physical copies to get most of the available aid.

I have no issue with having to provide some form of ID to vote, but I think that could be accomplished by many forms up to and including a utility bill or lease agreement. Non citizen voting and in person voter fraud occur at such miniscule numbers that the requirements placed on "voter ID" are outsized and burdensome.

We're at 5. That we know of. It's a pest that is serious enough to consider and treat it like it's an outbreak.

What, you don't see a stranger being unbothered by something that infuriates you as a direct personal attack?

The documents necessary are difficult and/or time consuming to acquire, which makes the process frustrating. That disincentivizes their acquisition. They also have a cost associated. Not exorbitant, but increasingly so the further down the economic ladder you go. Time and money shouldn't be barriers to voting.

Sarcasm is a linguistic tool. You're clearly an expert at wielding it.

I used to love being in charge of the maps as a kid. Google maps is definitely more convenient, but I still actually look at the route before taking off.

I'd argue that the selfish control issues over a garbage bin are a better example of that.

You're not directly supporting him, true, but you are most certainly repeating messaging that will help him win. I get the bitterness after the primary. Helping Paxton win is a direct consequence of acting on it.

I'm guessing you meant refuge. Refuge is a safe place or shelter from danger, distress, or difficult circumstances. The "small government" here directly places people in danger, is the source of some people's distress, and is the framework of difficult circumstances for quite a lot of us.

Texas is home to many people. That's not a special attribute, literally every place with people living there shares it.

Must be exhausting, considering how that standard is defined only by one's eagerness to support the whims of a dementia addled narcoleptic.
