It's hard to believe that anyone could be so dumb they actually think a card that says "Resident Alien" means they are a citizen.
On the other hand, I find it easy to believe. Remember the saying about idiot-proofing stuff and the result being that the universe invents a better idiot?
I still can't understand why anyone believes being asked to show proof that you are who you say you are is in any way a method of voter suppression.
The argument is that really poor people tend to vote democrat. Requiring ID costs a little bit of money, to people for whom even $10 is considered a major amount. In addition, these types tend to not have other forms of documentation in order that enables them to get the "enhanced ID" driver's licenses and ID cards, which means that they need to do things like request copies of SSN cards and birth certificates, and that can cost up to $100, and take a couple months.
That said, ID cards are used for a number of other things, but I'm satisfied, and voter ID laws tend to be upheld, when there's a
free option for an ID card.
