State Republican Platforms: Voting Rights

These are excerpts from Platforms and Resolutions passed by various state Republican parties this year. They show how far out of the mainstream are the extremists that have taken over the Republican party.

• Texas: Furthermore, we support the repeal of all Motor Voter laws and urge re-registering voters every four years and requiring first time registrants to produce photo identification, proof of residency, and citizenship along with voter registration application.
• North Carolina: We, therefore, seek the immediate repeal of the "Motor Voter" laws and urge re-registering voters every four years, and requiring registrants to produce photo identification, proof of residency, and citizenship.
• Washington: We support: ... Requiring valid identification and proof of citizenship in order to register to vote. Republicans: Undermining Voting Rights:
• Iowa: We oppose Internet voting, motor-voter, same day voter registration, and mail-in voting, other than absentee ballots.
• Mississippi: ...we oppose implementation of the Motor Voter Registration System, as it will increase voter fraud.
• Wisconsin: Be it further resolved that the Republican Party calls for election law reform wherein each voter will be required to show one valid form of identification provided such identification shows the resident's current address, or at least two such forms one of which is a government-issued ID and at least one of them indicating current residence, before receiving a ballot at the polling place.
• Wyoming: Believes new voters should provide identity in order to register.
