At this point, the Democrats have taken the absurd position to block ID to vote insulting the minorities as if they could not vote because they are too stupid to have ID is just astonishing. You cannot get welfare, drive a car, or take a flight no less even go to Canada without ID. The derogatory argument of Chuck Schumer is an insult to everyone. The ONLY people without an ID would be an illegal alien. When you are born, you get a Social Security number. They have completely flipped their argument because Trump is making it now.
A number of states have “stop and identify” statutes. These laws require a person who is lawfully detained (not just casually stopped) to state their name for the police. In the landmark 2004 case Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld these laws, ruling that requiring a suspect to disclose their name during a valid investigative stop does not violate the Constitution.
While the Supreme Court has affirmed that states can require voters to be citizens, it has also upheld that, for federal elections, this requirement can currently be satisfied by a sworn attestation (under penalty of perjury) rather than by providing documentary proof of citizenship. So, they must swear under oath that they are a citizen and if they lie that is 5 years in prison.
The Court has never struck down a law requiring voters to be U.S. citizens. However, the U.S. Constitution does not explicitly grant a universal, affirmative right to vote for all citizens. Instead, it prohibits specific forms of discrimination (e.g., based on race, sex) and allows states to set voter qualifications, like citizenship and age, as long as they don’t violate federal laws or constitutional provisions.
In the 2013 case Arizona v. Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, the Supreme Court ruled that states must “accept and use” the federal voter registration form, which only requires an applicant to swear they are a citizen under penalty of perjury. States may NOT unilaterally demand documents like birth certificates or passports for those registering to vote in federal races.States can regulated ONLY state elections. The Court has allowed states to create a two-tiered system. A voter who attests to citizenship but cannot provide documents may be registered as a “federal-only” voter, meaning they can only vote for President and Congress.
So, what the hell is Chuck Schumer doing blocking ID. Is he just consumed with Trump Derangement Syndrome, where he must oppose whatever Trump says? Trump says the sky is blue, Schumer says no its red. If Trump said he will do something tomorrow, Schummer retorts and says tomorrow never comes because it is always today?
NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani has called on New York residents to volunteer as emergency snow shovelers, but they need TWO forms of ID. So you need ID to shovel snow, but nothing to vote?
