Well they site the GAO study so go hunt that down and read it if you don't believe that anyone prints the truth anymore.
They don't link to it, though. I know I should be more trusting of my fellow man, but when an opinion piece cites one county in an 8 year old study without providing the context, well... I do get the feeling that they may have chosen an outlier.

Maybe the numbers were getting worse rather than better ?
Or maybe budget cuts is the more PC way to explain it.
On one hand the Dems argue that their base are too poor to prove their citizenship to vote.
But they are not too poor to have to prove their citizenship for any other facet of life in America.
Why is that ?
Straw man. I have never heard of a Democrat ever making that argument. The burden of proving citizenship (acknowledged by every serious study of the issue) has never been argued differently for different "facets" of life in America.
They only struck it down because such a law would have to be federal. Maybe it's time to start pressuring our elected officials to enact Voter ID laws.
It's more fun to do so just months before a national election.
Every citizen gets a birth certificate issued when they are born.
1) Actually no. They don't. Their parents might get one. But 18 years later whether or not they have the BC issued to their parents is pretty much out of their control.
2) Voter ID laws generally required a photo ID. A BC is not a photo ID.

The GAO report (link above) showed that in one district about 3% of jurors claimed to be non-citizens. In many cases this was just an excuse to avoid jury duty, and in others the jury list was pulled from multiple sources -not just voter registration rolls.
