The right to vote

[JohnR]

Every citizen has the right to vote. No. Questions. Asked.

Assuming proof of citizenship.

Can anyone give me a rational answer on why there is no proof of citizenship needed to vote?

Not a rational answer, except maybe a political one,
but I think we have come to a point where a permanent photo citizen voting ID card needs to be shown at the voting booth along with signing the registration ledger.

yes, because democrats have worked very hard in the districts under their control to identify and keep dead people and others on the voter rolls so that illegal aliens and college students, felons and others can be bussed in and vote multiple times for democrats...

or...minorities and the poor would be hardest hit if there were a requirement to show some form of ID in order to vote...
