If you thought the voter ID bill was bad, this is worse

House Bill 626 by Republican Phil King of Weatherford. This bill requires proof of citizenship for voter registration, and get this: It will mandate presentation of a birth certificate (not a photocopy, but the actual thing), or U.S. citizenship papers, or an unexpired passport. You know all those ways we've tried to boost voter registration, things like registration drives on college campuses and in poor neighborhoods, or while you're at the drivers license office, etc.? They'll be gone. Bye-bye.
