PEOPLE better WAKE UP and take seriously what the implementation of Project 2025 means and would do and is also being adopted by the RNC and the GQP platform,.. to see where a vote that would put the ORANGE ANUS back in power, is nothing less than a straight up regime controlled by a FASCIST DICTATOR.

Let's start with who is really in charge because like Reagan there is no way Biden is calling the shots, he thinks he is a black woman running with a black president, he talks to dead people on stage, he said this weekend that he will win in 2020 and he freezes up on stage and can't respond to simple questions. You Democrats are now as bad as the MAGA crowd you are both Kool-Aid drinkers that refuse to see what is right in front of your eyes and it leaves us independent voters shaking our heads having to decide which candidate is truly worst.

[@adayexpired6370]

On surface it may sound good, but, lots of people don’t travel abroad all their lives and don’t have a passport, and many don’t have their birth certificate. Drivers license doesn’t prove citizenship. So it could used for voter suppression of poor people and also would tax government offices who would have to provide a lot of birth certificate copies which can take an incredibly long time due to red tape. I’m a naturalized citizen. I misplaced my naturalization certificate once and applied for a new one. That was more than 20 years ago, and I remember it took like 9 months to get a copy!!!! Likely it’s gotten faster since then, but, you’d be effectively preventing legitimate citizens from voting, many of whom would have to wait months for a copy of their birth certificate. Fast passports cost extra and normal passport applications take not an insignificant amount of time. It’s just a voter suppression technique. Same as when they had reading and writing requirements before in history to keep blacks and other underprivileged from voting in the past. Just another hurdle. Just my opinion - my guess why some would be against it.
