  1. The problem? They are also inadvertently removing citizens. So what stopped them from starting this effort in December 2023 or January 2024?

  2. It is difficult to process the thought that any county or state in the US had to go all the way to the SCOTUS to be allowed to remove non-citizen’s names from its voter rolls.
    Even more difficult to process than the notion that requiring photo ID to vote is racial profiling.
    Even a small measure of common sense should tell anyone intelligent enough to vote that non-citizens do not have to right to vote in any country. The same goes for identifying the individual who is voting.
