This SB185 bill is bad in many respects! This means NOTHING even if it’s in the Montana Constitution as the NVRA rule (section 5) still applies if the election is a federal one and until it is removed, this is a NOTHING BILL, meaningless in its context.
Further, the state will spend a lot of money on this issue and it will be meaningless as there are no requirements in this bill to prove a person is a citizen when they go to vote. How does the state determine if a person is a citizen? What requirements are needed to prove they are citizens? Student ID? Driver’s license? Electric bill? Will the amendment have the requirement to have the little box to check that states I am a citizen of the US…or of Montana? and who will check that?
What a hypocrite – she knows it probably won’t pass but she can tout her effort to help Montana…Please have one of your writers research this bill and see why I call Manzella a hypocrite!
