Finally. it would exempt senior citizens. the disabled. and the military and their families from onerous photo ID requirements in the bill. Mr. Speaker. nonparticipation in the election process is more of a problem in this country than noncitizens trying to vote. This bill will do more to keep eligible American citizens away from the polls than it will do to fix the nonexistent problems of ineligible immigrants sneaking in to vote in our Federal elections. If we must take up this problem in search of a solution. lets at least allow the MillenderMcDonald amendment to be included. I ask that we vote "no" on the previous question so we can consider this important amendment. [From AU News.
