Wrong,

They want it but a homeless person can vote in California.  You are sitting in your proper living room and assuming the rest of us live in the same kind of room.  California embraces the inclusive model of
one person one vote with or without an address.  My homeless children in soup kitchens are proud when their moms and dads go and vote.  Anyone can register my church as their address, we will find them and
help deliver the mail.

Those of us working with the homeless help them with email and snail mail and assure that they own an identity that allows them to participate in society.  It may be all they have, or all that we can give.

Hope and being a part of the greater importance is the guiding light of the love which elevates spirits and rehabilitates lost citizens.  In Mexico we proclaim "Esparanza" the hope and dream.

Do not mollify the dictators into a soft understanding of what a right to vote means to people with nothing else.

The same may be applied here.

Sincerely,
Eric
