(10,000 posts)..but you are right...it's a popular way to spread wingnut talking points in a hurry.

(57,936 posts)The permission to enter a political convention is provided by the party holding the convention. It's a private affair and entry is not guaranteed in the Constitution.
You should only have to prove your identity, your citizenship and your age if you are investigated by the police for having committed perjury on your voter registration form.
At least in California, when you sign the form, you swear under penalty of perjury that you are qualified to vote.
I register voters. Non-citizens and under-age people are very honest about it and do not register.
Most people are honest about these things. One vote counts, but not enough to commit perjury to cast it.
The people who think that there is all this illegal voting haven't registered voters. That's my opinion.

(16,987 posts)I filled out and sent my first absentee ballot shortly after turning 18, and in quite a conservative state too. No fraud, no hassles, no fake outrage.
On edit: And when I registered, I went to the county seat with documentation in tow -- my birth certificate, I think, but it wasn't as complicated as getting a passport some years later.

PS- I think you have one "Friend" too many on Facebook. Maybe you should limit your "friends" to actual friends, and clear up the problem.
