In my town recently, a group picked up a bunch of homeless folks at a shelter and bussed them out to the Election Commissioner's office to vote. These folks don't have legal residences. They live on the street.
While one part of me says that anyone living in a city (whether landowner or not) should be allowed to vote, another part of me thinks that it would be entirely too easy to commit voter fraud by claiming I am homeless to vote in another state, or in a city I don't live in. I recall Hillary Clinton having to buy a home in NY so she could establish residency. Shouldn't someone be required to prove they live there?
No. This opens up way too many possibilities for illegals to exploit the system even more. However if they had documentation that proves they are citizens, then by all means
I think to be allowed to vote one should have to produce proof of US citizenship, proof or residency, and proof of membership in a upstanding Christian church. We've lost sight of the fact that we are "One nation under God".

Just curious what everyone thinks.
How does a homeless person vote unless they are registered to vote?

They were allowed to register and vote on the same day. They were allowed to use either the address of the shelter or the Election Commissioner's office as their address.

Huh?
What state allows people to register and vote on the same day?

That contradicts directly with our separation of church and state guarenteed by the First Amendment right to Freedom of Religion.
As for the question in general, I think proof of residency is a reasonable requirement for voting.
Proof of citizenship along with the residency requirement of the municipality in which one is voting, yes. I don't know why this is even a question. I've always had to show photo ID and/or my voter registration card in order to vote.
