In Europe I get a voting pass sent in the mail for every election. To vote I have to show both this pass and a valid ID. The pass is kept by the polling station. Easy and quick.
How come it is so difficult in the USA to exert your democratic right? Why does one of the parties fight against people voting?
How come it is so difficult in the USA to exert your democratic right?
Because half of the population of the country (republicans) don't want the other half to have any rights at all. They no longer care about freedom or this country. They only care about screwing over those who don't agree with them. Yes, they're that stupid.
Its difficult to vote to keep people from voting. When people are allowed to vote Republicans lose elections.

This is why i register as Republican. Never voted R once, but strangely and unlike several family members, I've never been purged from voter rolls, either.
WEIRD.

Is there any particular reason to believe these voters are even primarily Democrats? Or are they just happy with the demographics of the last election and don't care whose vote gets tossed as long as the needle doesn't move?
Is this a joke?
Nope. Nothing in the article states any demographic bias among these voters. But perhaps I'm just not understanding the identification being used. I assume by federal documentation it means like passport or military ID.
Actually I guess passport would be proof of citizenship so I'm just OOTL why these people would be targeted.
And I guess it says federal form not federal form of identification so I'm illiterate as well as confused.
Last edit: So if I understand correctly there is a state form that requires proof of citizenship, and a federal form which does not. So if you don't have ID, which is more likely for poor people, your only choice to register is using the federal form which would make them skew poorer and more likely minority, meaning Democrat. Is that right? That all makes perfect sense but I feel like it took a lot of extra work to get there.
I must be having an autistic day because this is like the third time I just couldn't get what someone was saying when it was clear to everyone else.
The prime Republican demographic is rich white christian men.
Voters that don't provide proof of citizenship are very likely to be poor. It's a hoop to jump through that's a lot harder when you don't have money, time, and a car.
I'll also point out that it's completely unnecessary as the great state of AZ has all the resources they'd need to go name by name and verify that these people are indeed citizens. Making them provide it during registration is a filler for the poor.
Much like literacy tests were there to filter out black people.
At this point, the prime republican demographic is uneducated white men. There are a lot more of them than the rich ones. And they vote for Trump even if they don't usually vote.
Reminder: if conservatives can't win via democracy they will always resort to autocracy.
This strategy of challenging and removing voters in communities that are largely oppositional isn't unique to the Republican Party, but it is a favorite of theirs. And the argument always boils down to claims of "illegal voting" to swing the election, which they then leverage into claims that any Democrat advantage on voting day was won fraudulently.
Also reminder: If Republicans are accusing someone of something, it's because they're already doing that something.
Bingo
You can just say "Bi-"
Oh, nevermind, that was correct. Carry on.
