One more way to ensure low voter turnout

I’m not saying it’s excusable, but this new bill, which cleared the House today, is just one more hurdle for the lazy, for those who probably wouldn’t vote anyway, and will now be certain not to.

It would require voters to show proof of citizenship in order to vote. Fine, I don’t mind.

But “non-citizens” should have some say, especially those with children in the public school system.

I’m not pretending to have the answer to complicated voting and citizenship issues. I’m just saying that I don’t like this solution.
