32. Lots of people don't have their birth certificates
And it can be expensive and inconvenient for them to get a certified copy.

And some folks - particularly older people born in rural areas - never were issued birth certificates and, thus will have to come up with some other way to prove citizenship. People should not have to jump through these kinds of hoops to exercise their constitutional right to vote.


This law is nothing more than a naked attempt to disenfranchise voters while demagoguing the immigration issue at the same time. Plain and simple.
