In reply to the discussion: How many can locate their birth certificate in order to vote? [View all]Jack Valentino
(4,936 posts)I bought a new copy of my birth certificate many years ago,
can't remember why I thought I needed it, now...
but I'm a male, and thus never changed my name through marriage---
However, even so, having to report to the city to show my documentation
would be a personal hardship to me, since my car is still dead in the driveway---
and if they amended the original bill to outlaw no-reason mail-in balloting
(which as I understand it, they still have not done yet in the Senate),
well, that would invoke further hardship since I have gotten used to mail-in voting
in Michigan--- a law which we passed by a popular vote initiative!---
(AND, I think if they managed to pass it, it should JUSTLY be
struck down by the Supreme Court---
since control over elections is delegated to state governments
by the Constitution, and not to the Federal government---
but we can't count on the Republican nominees to this court
to follow the US Constitution now, can we ???)
