Closing loopholes is worthwhile, even if they’re not being abused yet. You say “if you see this happening, then you’ll have to vote”, but that thing that may happen is people being denied the right to vote. So if this starts to happen, it may be impossible to undo with voting.

Case in point, this amendment pretended to close a loophole which didn’t even exist. Wisconsin law already prohibited non citizens from voting. It does not pass the smell test, being as haphazardly written as it is now.

It’s easy to worry about it, when the change wasn’t even necessary and has no effect if we’re to believe it was written in good faith.
