As a member of the League of Women Voters, I can tell you, my student voter registration will be shut down by this EO. I register students at 17-1/2 (they can’t vote until 18) at my 5 local high schools, and there is no way they will have the docs with them to register. That’s the point!

My neighbor can’t prove her name change because her marriage license is from IL and has a wet stamp, but MO requires a crimped one. That’s the point!

All of the reasons listed in the article. That’s the point!

It is voter suppression!

There has never been voter fraud to justify these restrictions, only bigotry, racism, and misogyny.

Good guys make it easier to vote. We know who makes it harder.

This is not the first time we have had to fight for our right to vote. It took white women over 100 years. It took Black women even longer. We know how to do this.

And we will do this!

See you in the streets, Governerds!

As someone who works on voting day at the polls, this infuriates me. People who make these claims and try to add citizenship laws have no clue how voting works. These laws are nothing more than a blatant attempt to remain in power and keep people from exercising their right to vote.

IDs are checked at every polling station, the records are kept very tight and if you aren’t in the system you get found out quickly. Mail in, is the same, and when all is said and done ballot’s are check again and any discrepancy is noted and referred to a special election bipartisan committee.

Go work in your local precinct to see how an election works. You will likely, be surprised.
