On Sunday, Legal Insurrection<\/a> posted an article about the grand opening of the President Obama Presidential Center.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Former President Barack Obama is warning<\/a> that requiring proof of citizenship to vote would \u201cdisenfranchise millions,\u201d but eligibility for tickets to his presidential center\u2019s grand opening is limited to U.S. citizens and lawful residents and requires<\/a> identity verification to claim the prize.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Obama weighed in this week against the Republican-backed SAVE Act, which would require documented<\/a> proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. He framed<\/a> the proposal as a direct threat to voter access and urged Americans to oppose it, calling it unnecessary and harmful to participation<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cRepublicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act\u2014a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Other Democrats echoed that argument, saying the measure would impose documentation burdens that many Americans do not readily have access to, including passports, birth certificates, or other records used to verify<\/a> citizenship, particularly among lower-income and older populations.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the same time, the sweepstakes<\/a> tied to the opening of the Obama Presidential Center<\/a> lays out firm eligibility requirements. The official terms limit entry to \u201cUnited States citizens and lawful permanent U.S. residents,\u201d excluding<\/a> anyone who does not meet those criteria.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Winners are also required to provide identifying documentation, including<\/a> taxpayer identification information, and must clear security screenings and verification protocols before attending the event, consistent with standard procedures for high-profile public gatherings.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Those conditions are not incidental. Access depends on legal status and the ability to confirm identity through official records, with eligibility rules clearly defined in advance of the event.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, this is typical of some of our Democrat party members. Photo id is generally needed to get into some of their events, yet they don’t see the necessity of having photo id to exercise your right to vote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
