• Current photo ID (including a New Jersey driver's license, a military or other government ID, a student or job ID, or US passport)
• Current utility bill, bank statement, pay statement, government check, or other government document that shows your name and address

Voting Requirements:

Middle/upper class citizens who work 9-5 jobs and can afford  to leave for lunch or do not have more than one job that causes them to work late in the night, therefore eliminating a group of key voters that do not benefit from the current system and allowing a group that is helped by current policies to vote for the same people that solely have their interests at heart

Cannot be a felon or current prisoner because we do not want you voting against the people who run private prisons because those are the people who fund the politicians who are running for office’s campaigns

You have to be what is considered to be normal, no mental illnesses because we don’t want you voting for pro mental health policies because then we would actually have to address gun and violence culture in this country rather than just blaming it plainly on mental illness

Don’t be homeless or poor because once you stop giving money to the government, you don’t matter anymore and we do not want to continue spending money on you so that you can rise up and become a human again. You are to blame for your problems and you solely can fix them

Vote with your heart but know that no matter what the Electoral College will choose the president so your vote doesn’t really matter anyway. They might vote to what your people chose but if doesn’t fit their interests, they will protect their own
