Now that the Supreme Court has effectively struck down . . .

the key provisions of the Voting Rights Act, this will allow
up to nine states, mostly in the South, to change their election
laws without advance federal approval.

Most of the "Election Laws" require proof of citizenship to be allowed to vote.

So, here is the question that has plague man for thousands of years:

[Font color=RED size=6]What document, besides a passport, can you use to prove citizenship?[/font]

Here are valid forms of ID
Valid Driver's License - [Font color=BLUE]You don't have to be a citizen to have a drivers license.[/font]
Military ID - [Font color=BLUE]You don't have to be a citizen to be in the military[/font]
A State ID Card - [Font color=BLUE]I honestly don't know about this one, but if it's similar to a drivers license, then I'm sure a non-citizen can acquire this card legally.[/font]
United States Passport - [Font color=BLUE]This is the only document that can prove citizenship, but not everyone has one. I know I don't. And you can hold passports from multiple countries.[/font]
Student ID - [Font color=BLUE]Again, you don't have to be a citizen to have a Student ID card.[/font]

have a valid US birth certificate, but renounce your citizenship and
