I agree that only citizens should vote, so that is 80%, +1. I further agree that people should have documentation of citizenship, but that documentation must be easily obtained, and free. If the dox are hard to obtain, and/or costly, requiring dox amounts to a poll tax, which was a popular was of suppressing voting by some groups.
I would say we pass a law that says any changes to voting requirements can only take effect after two years. The problem with voter suppression is that new requirements are designed so that when they are passed, there isn't enough time to run a check your registrations campaign centered on those it's designed to suppress. We should make voter register purges having to occur before 2.5 years of the election. I'm not against new thoughtful requirements, I'm against the designed voter suppression that occurs under the guise of fair elections.
