What does one thing got to do with the other? Voting is a constitutional right, and proving whether or not you are delegate has nothing to do with it.

As if the Democrats don't have the desire for a one party rule. Yes, you are making it about race because you are mentioning Obama and the fact that it became an issue during his presidency.

Yes, it is a constitutional right but only for citizens. Therefore, we must make sure that non-citizens are not getting that right which does belong to them and the only way to do that is to make sure only citizens ARE voting. The only way to do that is through the voter ID laws.

Tourists can't register to vote, so we're good.

Once again I find myself correcting you because the Supreme Court has ruled that voting is NOT a constitutional right. How else do you think they deny voting to prisoners etc?

And some criminals are denied the right to life. The rest of us have the right to vote.
