What do you mean?
Like, it's like, you know, I can find the city hall where I can get my birth certificate.
Like what, what the hell?
Like, this is like basic stuff.
If you can't figure out how to get a state ID, um,
then how do you function in life like you can't like you yeah you need it for so many things just you know opening a bank account like everybody needs to have an id you needed them to buy cigarettes at some point i don't think they've been able to find one example of somebody that said i can't get an id or i don't know how to get like they can't they can't find even one person
But would the Save America Act fix that?
Would the Save America Act have some kind of citizenship check as part of the process?
Mm-hmm.
yeah that you're a citizen yeah okay it gets complicated i guess so and so it's like it's even if the save america act passes there's still this other side to it i would say the same thing about being able to get your birth certificate or being able to get a passport like anybody can do that and most likely you already had to because like they have employment checks
that require those things, right?
Like you have to show that you're able to work.
And I know there's other conditions that like, you can be a permanent resident or you can have a work permit or some other thing, but like you already need that kind of documentation just to function in life.
And, and, you know, I have a whole stack of birth certificates for my kids because every time they would join like baseball, like, like little league, um,
they they would need a birth certificate to show how old they are and and so i i went downtown and i got like 50 copies and now they have birth certificates and anytime they need one they can come to me and i have a file full of them and i got more of my own and i got my merit certificate and i got all that stuff and i i currently do need to renew my passport but i i've had passports multiple times it's not hard to do
And so I don't think there's any argument that it's too hard for people to vote or that it would disenfranchise people because I think these are just basic things that you probably already have.
The vast majority of people already have these documents.
And if you don't, you need them anyway for other reasons.
So you should go get them.
Again, I think this is more about, you know, preventing people from pretending they're somebody else.
