"Members of Congress use ID and a secure system to cast votes because high-stakes decisions require identity verification and an auditable record. Thats standard practice when power is on the line. Public elections are upstream of all that power. They decide who gets to sit in those seats and press those buttons. If identity verification is normal for lawmakers it should be normal for the elections that put them in office"

He pointed to reports out of Macomb County Michigan where non-citizens reportedly received jury summons and some were allegedly found on voter rolls. That alone raises a bigger question: how clean are the rolls nationwide Even isolated cases undermine public confidence.
