Such bullshit. The state has your birth certificate (if you were born in OH). DMV has immediate access to this info. I posted many times since last fall to get current official birth, marriage, divorce, name change, etc., docs because we're going to need them. Almost too late to get them now.

In a country with no single, standardized system to prove citizenship, the new requirement could prevent thousands of voters who register at the BMV while applying for a driver's license from doing so and ultimately voting. Read the full story:

Imagine thinking a non-citizen would risk their status here during a mass deportation program by registering illegally for a 1-in-a-zillion chance to cast the deciding vote in an election. One reason we don't have a voter fraud issue with non-citizens, who are clearly smarter than Republicans.
