OPPOSE HB 3016, Another Voter Suppression and Discrimination Bill
HB 3016 eliminates from WV’s long list of voter ID options all the IDs without photographs. HB 3016 also requires non-citizen status to be identified on state-sanctioned photo IDs. Historically, badges such as the ones described in this bill have been used to segregate an unfavored group from the rest of the population and reinforce their inferior status.

Testimony in Opposition to HB 3016
We OPPOSE HB 3016, another voter suppression and discrimination bill. For no apparent reason, HB 3016 eliminates voter ID options without photographs. As if that weren’t enough, HB 3016 requires “non-citizen” status to be emblazoned on IDs issued legally to non-citizen residents. History tells us that badges such as the ones described in this bill have been used to segregate an unfavored group from the rest of the population and reinforce their inferior status.
