HTML-код

Marc Elias and Paige Moskowitz explain how the law suppress student voters, the GOP's obsession with the myth of noncitizen voting and the new litigation challenging the law.

Keep fighting NH. Hold Republicans in NH accountable.

No wonder young people think the system does not work. New Hampshire needs a new legislature

Me too!
🙄🤬

So glad Marc and Team are on the case!
Those who think Sununu is moderate aren't paying attention.
I can't understand this. I had to prove I was a citizen with my birth certificate to get my RealID driver's license. Why isn't a RealID valid for this?
I can't understand why we just don't deport every illegal, then this wouldn't even be an issue.
Wouldn't a real ID driver's license also prove citizenship?
Yes, it would. To get a driver's license in this state, you must present a birth certificate or another document that required a birth certificate to acquire.
Yes It Would, but the Republicans need a way to stop the voting for Democrats. Please VOTE BLUE for your freedom, and your rights to say what happens to your body
Please VOTE blue all across the states .
good question
Sununu is the worst of nepobabies. He’s so full of himself.
He certainly has shown his true colors.
I wonder if Sununu jr goes 100 mph on Rt 93 south ...
He looks like a sphincter which has been turned inside out

Doesn't the university need to know which students are US citizens?
🤔
Sure but they don't have signed, official copies of the students birth certificates, which this law would require students to have if they wanted to vote. Either an official copy of the certificate or a passport, which the majority of people in this country do not have.
Thank You Marc✨🇺🇸✨💙✨

GO GETTEM, DEMS!!!
Thank you, sir. I can't help but feel so helplessly frustrated with Sununu. Between this law and making it illegal to sleep in public places, I just don't recognize my home state anymore. Please, don't stop fighting this fight. People like me need you.
Let citizens vote! If you’re that afraid that you will not hold power then maybe you should have better outreach.
Go out and VOTE.
On campuses in my state I would like to see organizing to both inform and help out of state students be legally registered and able to vote.
I support Marc Elias and his organization’s position on my home state’s shameful exempting students from voting! If their parents are citizens of this country and the student was born in this country THE STUDENT IS AN AMERICAN WHO HAS THE RIGHT TO VOTE WHERE EVER THEY ARE LIVING IN THIS COUNTRY, ESPECIALLY if they are attending college!!! I have been an Independent all my voting life. Due to the shameful efforts to manipulate voting and support of DT, the elimination of women’s freedom to determine their own healthcare, this year I have chosen to become a member of the Democratic Party. These radical Republicans have utterly destroyed the credibility of their party. I support those in that party who support rationality and are speaking out and fighting back.
Thank you Marc and Paige
Thank you for explaining that about the students and voter suppression!
We need to do something like Australia does. Vote on a Saturday and make it mandatory. They can vote anywhere in the country as well.
This policy disenfranchises shift workers, retail and hospitality.
But that’s FORCING people to do something. Notice the ‘mandatory’ part of it. I’d say that COULD be considered a form of Communism. Thier FORCING u to do something…. Or else u face penalty.
Why can’t there be one voting system for all 50 states that is supervised by the federal government of united states of America, give voting the same rights like being born in America
God I hate Sununu. Keep up the fight!!!
Thank you!
Thank you both
Students should take their birth certificate with them to school. Use it to register, then mail it home.
My Florida Real ID drivers license required the exact same documents.
So it should be accepted as proof of citizenship.
This happened to me in MT in 1988 because I hadn't known to transfer registration from one county to the county where I attended college. I wasn't allowed to vote thar year.
GREAT AD FOR VOTING IN NC!! GREAT JOB TEJAH!!
There is a law already That non-citizens cannot vote. unless they becomes citizen of the United States. So New Hampshire Stop bitching,
This also targets married women who changed their names. If you need your birth certificate to match your id then ...? Women will need to spend time & money for for legal name change paperwork. Most states only require your marriage certificate/license.
What kinds of shit and Kompromat do they have on the Sinunus?
Why do we have Real ID's then?
Biden, as a last move, should issue Government Citizenship ID! They should be able to do this, as records of birth can be cross referenced with SSN's and I'm sure there are other things, too. If the government will require proof of citizenship, then the government should provide that simple ID.
Send the suggestion to Harris/Walz, the 2 Dem senators too 👍👊💪
that would be awesome
It is not nearly as simple as you think. There is no national database of births. And every place that issues birth certificates does it differently. Back when I had to get a copy of my birth certificate, I literally waited for them to bring a book, labeled with a date range, out from the back room and flip through the pages to find my certificate.
Even though some places have gone through and digitized birth certificates, you can't assume that coverage is complete.
I'm 18 and easily voted for the first time in Michigan
Kamala supporters need to VOTE in MASS numbers.
The further of ahead of Trump she can get, the more difficult it will be for election denialism to stand.
The last thing we want is for Trump and his lackies to create chaos in this election and it ends up in the House.
Canadians have always had this law. No one votes without proof of citizenship and ID. What is so difficult about this??
I really appreciate you and your channel.
How does anyone get a driver license or even into kindergarten without birth certificate and proof of citizenship.
Passport should be free! And I shouldn't have to re-apply every 10 years. My passport has expired, why? And it's $130 to apply for the first time! OUTRAGEOUS! Citizenship isn't a privilege it is a right!
Go, Mark!🎉
All this state BS has got to stop!
The incentive is to make the law that creates the lawsuits that only seems to pay the judge and lawyers. The people still get screwed.
Parents of college students should make sure they have many copies of Birth Certificate and one copy to keep with them at College. get them a passport
In South Africa, we must show our ID card/book to prove citizenship. And because we have poverty issues here, your first ID card is issued free of charge. As a non-American, I don't see how Americans can't figure out a solution to your voter security issues!
One way that millionaires can help democracy is to pay for students to obtain their birth certificate.
Maybe if students boycott states with these abortion laws, Citizenship laws, etc... everything against them and stop applying at colleges in the states the universities may get off their butts and fight for students rights because of $$$ women have rights too! BOYCOTT !
I don’t understand Rep. if the person is already register to vote that means they already provided proof of citizenship otherwise you don’t get the registration so what else they need now?
That's the only way . Their policies sucks and need to make it hard for people to vote .
These laws also affect women, especially those who changed their names.
I'm 40.
I only just got my birth certificate and Social security card from my mum!
Donald Trump was Americas biggest mistake. But we learn from our mistakes. Go out and vote blue 👍💙
So, when these college kids do win this lawsuit! They can vote to keep MAGA Governor's like Sununu out of office!!!
A drivers license is proof of citizenship! Students who have lans also have to show proof!
Omg
For this year or next year kinda short notice
Social security cards aren't proof of citizenship? I am required to bring my SS card with a gov issued photo ID (like a driver's license or state ID) anytime I start a new job.
Sununu is not nor ever has been moderate. He is also a dynasty politician, His father was previously governor of that state in the 1980s (and went on to become White House Chief of staff under Bush 2).
His brother was the state representative in congress, and later a senator. It can be assumed this is part of his bid for the Republican party to back himself for Federal office.
In the 80s & 90s Florida issued a full size birth certificate and a small ID size birth certificate card. I've had that in my wallet for decades and the FL seal pressed into it is still visible. But even I get strange looks when I've shown that to people. Just goes to show you how different & difficult it is to compare "proof" of something when every state does their own thing for what is essentially a Federal status ...
Like Hawaii's proof of live birth 😂
FYI...Many people-regardless of age- do not carry around nor have on-hand, their birth certificate. I don't see how age has anything to do with whether you have your BC handy or not. In my opinion, parents typically hold the birth certificates of single, college-age students and same age non-students. Once a young adult is through with college, living on their own, married, or any event that renders them independent, the parent has given them their BCs. The above is a typical scenario. Basically, no matter your age, it is just as bothersome and extra to get a certified copy of your BC. It can take up to 5 weeks so be proactive and make sure you have one in time to register to vote. The republicans are counting on us being lazy or being procrastinators. It takes time and money to get a certified copy of one's BC. However, it can be done, people! Let's show maga, we will not be deterred!
Papers please
/s
Go get him. I hate Sununu.
They will pay in the end watch😂
@DemocracyDocket - are you guys looking into what Nebraska is doing with their blue dot district in Omaha?
I think Marc missed a third proof. Naturalized citizens should have proof as well, although most of them would have a reason to have a US passport. That said, proof of naturalization as a child can be difficult if the parents weren't on the ball when they obtained their citizenship. I'm Canadian, and I know two people who discovered that they weren't registered as citizens when they tried to obtain a Canadian passport. It cost them a great deal of time and angst to get it corrected.
I don’t see anything wrong with that I’m from NH got my citizenship a while ago and I’m ok with this!
💙🇺🇸 Madam "PRESIDENT" Kamala Harris! 🇺🇸💙
💙🇺🇸 Mister Vice President Tim Walz 2024 🇺🇸💙
Sununu is a Maga.
NO surprise.
*R.I.P (Rot In Prison) Donald J Trump, 5th November 2024*
❤😊
WTH happened to my beloved state?😢
The Republican legislators trying to stay in power.
Right wingers.
MAGA.
Trump.
MAGA
3:48 FYI doesn’t have to be an original birth certificate-certified copies you got from the county, for example, are allowed
That thumbnail is you?! How many decades ago???
Do what Arkansas did require them to get federal approved drivers license which are approved that you have to show your birth certificate to get one
Thank you Marc❣️🇺🇸💙🙏
Thank you!!!!
