Time to start looking up every white-ass right-wing voter in the state that has a second home or spends early November out of state this year and challenge their registration 91 days before the 2028 election.
That would be hilarious. Just start challenging anyone and everyone with a MAGAt sticker just before the election and lock them all down in pointless bureaucracy of proving their citizenship
It says you need some kind of documented evidence but I’m sure that’s pretty easy to gin up for a lot of people.
wait'll white people start claiming indigenous people aren't citizens.
You’re too late. ICE has already arrested people with Native American IDs, claiming they are invalid.
ICE has arrested people with valid REAL-IDs claiming they aren't real. They'll do whatever they want to whoever they want.
REAL-IDs
Are Native American IDs not real?
ETA: Reading this back, it looks really pas-ag. Not American, the question is sincere. I've never heard of Native American IDs
Liberals love to pretend the law is self-enforcing and refuse to ask what role the state's deeply racist and violent state bureaucrats, or the police and sheriff's offices (nevermind any ICE agents operating in the state) will play.

Incidentally, Supreme Court Justice William Renquist started his career as a poll-watcher in Arizona, screening out any who looked too Democrat.
Republican Gov. Larry Rhoden signed legislation into law last week that authorizes challenges by individuals and election officials.
It would be a terrible shame if a bunch of people started challenging Larry's citizenship.
"Rhoden"!?!
Sounds like a foreigner to me!
There's a New South Dakota?
So they added pvp to voting
Soooo...every reservation gonna challenge every South Dakotane citizenship?
God I hope so.
gonna be shocked when all the people challenged aren't white while all the people challenging are.
I fucking hate my country now
I mean, you hated it before, but you hate it now too
