    PROHIBITING IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENT

    FFS - READ the entire section:

    “(A) PROHIBITING IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENT AS CONDITION OF OBTAINING BALLOT.—A State may not require an individual to provide any form of identification as a condition of obtaining an absentee ballot, except that nothing in this paragraph may be construed to prevent a State from requiring a signature of the individual or similar affirmation as a condition of obtaining an absentee ballot.

    This takes the red tape out of getting a ballot, and to remove additional ID requirements. When you complete the ballot, you will be formally identified and checked against the usual records. In that manner, you can get the ballot and apply the ID at a later date.

    The bill is brilliant because it prohibits so many of the tricks Republicans have used to supress voting rights in their states. All of the items prohibited have been fraudulently used by Republicans in previous elections. The bill is an absolutely needed. (No the election was not stolen, FFS.)

    Requiring an ID suppresses voting rights? Do these suppressed people never have to show an ID for anything?

    No. A government-issued photo ID is still required. Additional requirements for IDs would be prohibited, as these additional requirements are used to suppress voting.
