Stephen Miller defends making it harder for people to vote

https://americanindependent.com/stephen-miller-voter-suppression-id-laws-barack-obama-fox-newsb

Voter ID laws disproportionately affect minorities, the disabled, and low-income Americans. But Trump adviser Steven Miller doesn't see a problem with that.

White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller defended restrictive voter ID laws in an appearance on Fox News on Friday.

"How can anybody claim that it is voter suppression to ask if somebody who's voting, if John Smith is really John Smith?" Miller asked, adding, "It's a simple principle: one citizen, one vote. Emphasis on the word citizen."

Miller was responding to President Barack Obama's call for voting reforms as he eulogized civil rights hero John Lewis on Thursday.

to vote, require obsessively restrictive voting rights, and even to boot, is ugly as sin. I keep expecting his mouth to open up wide and watch him swallow a school bus of children.

Perhaps maybe w/ our technology, we can implement a DNA type of verification process, a tiny pinprick of blood per voting episode to verify voter ID, that will work nationwide. Need for no photo IDs, no copies of utility bills, etc. Process would be literally foolproof and one would always have their voting rights (can't be taken away regardless of cause). The only issue I would see is if they moved to another area, how would this be cross checked, but the most critical thing to remember is that they can only vote 1 and only 1 time, regardless of where they are at.
