That is indeed a worrying development for those who are not hard core conservatives, and potentially even for them if they are in the lower economic strata or about to be.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Also the elderly or the infirm.

So now all the old poor people who can't get medicare or whose health insurance premiums will skyrocket better get down to the DMV.

I don't agree with all of Justice Neil Gorsuch's opinions, but he is qualified to be confirm to the Supreme Court.

"Voting rights on the table"?
I am willing to wager that this statement of hysteria doesn't apply to anyone reading this thread because undoubtedly they already have a photo ID - which is all the article linked really talks about. ..and even concedes that voter ID laws had no evidence supporting any suppression.

This is a non story, especially since Gorsuch already padded one senate confirmation hearing for the job he currently holds.

Without voting rights the rest of your rights are immaterial.

The time to prove residency is when you register to vote. Not at the voting booth.

There is really no controversy about Republicans' attempts to suppress voting by minorities or anyone else not likely to vote Republican. Republicans themselves don't really deny it. In fact they actually gloat over their successes in doing so!
