The text argues that the bill inverts the presumption of eligibility, mandating strict physical proof of citizenship—such as passports or specific birth certificates with raised seals—while explicitly banning digital identification. Central to the discussion is the "logistical friction" created by these requirements, including the lack of fee waivers for obtaining documents, the strict liability and criminal penalties facing election officials, and the double-photocopy requirement for absentee ballots. Ultimately, the source highlights a systemic shift toward a centralized federal data dragnet, where state voter roles are cross-referenced with Department of Homeland Security databases to trigger mandatory deportation investigations for non-citizens.- - -Support my work at https://ko-fi.com/grwelch This is a public episode.
