Another Twitter user wrote “Yeah, like Canada. We have voter ID, automatic voter registration, weeks of early voting/advanced polls, mail-in voting etc. Or do you just like certain provisions that fit yours and “What’s his names” narrative. I suspect the latter!!”

Another Twitter user who disagreed with Stefanik replied “You know the reason! It’s voter suppression. Elderly & poor can’t get through the process of obtaining an ID. Fix that and an ID wont be a problem. ”
You know the reason! It's voter suppression. Elderly & poor can't get through the process of obtaining an ID. Fix that and an ID wont be a problem.
My ID meant a 2 hour drive to a court house to get a document in person proving my married name. Our elderly can't to do that
