What kind of grown arse adult doesn’t know where their birth certificate is?

The only time I've ever used it is to get my driver's license 30 years ago.

I've moved dozens of times since then. Things get lost. It's not a document that has ever been required for any other purpose so why would I dilligently keep track of such a useless thing?

I wasn't going to touch that, but since you did...

My mom probably has it in a baby book somewhere. I haven't needed it in 3 decades and never will again in my life. I don't see the importance of keeping track of something I'll never need.

I was 20 years old and couldn't find mine for a trip to Mexico.

It was a piece of cake to get another.

You could lose your passport, the SAVE Act could pass...I mean, you do you—like I said, I wasn't going to say anything—but I did have the same mental reaction that he did.

But you probably just needed it to get your passport...which I already have. I'm not in any rush to get a copy of my birth certificate. If I need it again I'll probably bitch about it but until I need it, I really don't see the reason.

Back then, you could go to Mexico with just your birth certificate.

Same with the Bahamas and Canada.

It saved me from having to get a passport.

But I actually use my passport so it's worth keeping track of

I have no anticipated use for my birth certificate anytime in the next 30 years just like I haven't had a use for it in the previous 30 years. If I use it again before I die, I'll be shocked.

Yeah...

I get it. You've said that like six times now.

You're more defensive abut this than anything I've ever seen you post about.

Nobody plans on losing something. They just lose it. Even if they care about not losing it. Sometimes stuff just happens.

The lack of basic adult responsibilities in here is surprising. Finding my birth certificate is too hard. Sheesh, grow up. You need ID to buy a home, car, concealed carry, get government handouts, fill out an I9, but let's just let everybody vote. Really?

No legislation is perfect.

I’m sure that a few will be inconvenienced, but it is still directionally the right way to go.

Why even use this scare tactic?

a certified birth certificate paired with a photo ID

This is a very low threshold for any legal, citizen voter to meet.

See above. This has already happened in Kansas. It kept 12% of applicants from being able to register.


I thought you said that was Texas, and that only 12% of applicants COULD register. For the record I could believe that 12% of applicants couldn’t register. 10% of the people wandering around in this country are here illegally

Do a stand alone bill and let everyone show their cards. Rejecting it because of the other shite that is tied into it will be seen as not being a ‘team player’.

That’s some dirty shite by both chambers, and the American people are gonna be the ones getting fricked over if it passes or not.

Your statement is FALSE.
Read vote.org again.

Nowhere on vote.org does it suggest you need a passport to vote. Nowhere.

The only time you need a birth certificate is to REGISTER to vote.
A DRIVER'S LICENSE is needed on election day to cast your vote.

STOP CONFUSING THE ISSUES!

How do you recommend we address States that issue drivers licenses to non-citizens, as currently exists in several blue states?

It's a federal mandate that forces the states to enforce without any funding to assist in enforcement. If the federal government wants to dictate then it should either pay the states for the enforcement or change the Constitution to just mandate that the federal government is now in charge of conducting and administering elections.
