    ones who do are probably less likely to vote for republicans

    You said the quiet part out loud. Now learn about the loud part. Many people with passports didn’t get the “RealID” because the Passport always usurped it.

    Edit: also this kind of “well, they won’t do it” is literally how every other fascist state has come into being, so I hope you enjoy your ignorance while it lasts. No, I don’t care about being nice. Time to grow up and stop with the whataboutism.

      They won’t do it because it would disenfranchise their own voters and enfranchise the opposition. Are you not American and confused the parties?

      Edit: who is downvoting this? Are there people who think the republicans are going to rig the game against themselves?

        Oh yeah, because it’s simply impossible for them to send ICE into blue states to “secure the elections”

            You’re trolling, right? I can’t imagine why I’d have to explain this otherwise.

            Laws aren’t magical spells that change reality. If Republicans introduce a law saying “you must have a passport to vote”, people can still vote without a passport as long as nobody prevents them from doing so. Republicans can send ICE to polling stations in blue states to prevent people from voting without a passport.
