Can you imagine our farmers, teachers, doctors, neighbors being barred from voting due to the inability to obtain updated documentation? Many American citizens do not have easy access to documents like passports or even certified birth certificates. In fact, More than 21 million voting age American citizens do not have proof of citizenship readily available. Again, it doesn't mean they're not US Citizens. Obtaining those documents can cost money, take time, and require navigating complicated government systems. Voting is a fundamental right. (03:03–03:10)
