      Honestly Republicans are among the lowest income families and most of them rent, requiring land ownership could very well cost Trump the presidency.

    And exactly no legal case will be made in relation to this, because you can only make a case if you have standing, and what homeless person has the time or money to do that?

    Yes, time, because it takes time to appear in court and work with attorneys, and when you’re homeless, you kind of need to spend that time just getting by.

    The right violates the constitution all the time without consequences. Rule of law really is an illusion at this point.

    Yet again they are targeting the vulnerable of society, and trying to disenfranchise them. But if course, the cruelty is the point.

      The sad part is it’s probably not. We started off only letting land owners vote, I have a feeling were like one self serving interpretation of the law away from going back.

    Just make everyone in the US get a national ID number.

    And I don’t mean social security number, but a real ID number with checksums and protections built in.
