A rightys makes a claim about what the left thinks? That is how you start a thread?
Voter ID harms people without much money, with no transportation, and older people. It also hurts rural people because DMV offices are open sporadically or require a long drive.
When I had to get a passport, my ID was a big problem. My birth certificate took time, money, and driving around to obtain. The hospital I was born at had been sold and merged a few times. I was born before computers so the paperwork required workers to go through storage and enormous records. I recall going to 3 or 4 places just for the birth certificate.
Try that without a car. It was also not cheap.

Everyone knows the Republican Party can no longer get a majority in free elections, so is attempting to deny more and more people votes. Are there really mugs who believe the lies by which they justify this crookery?

So they're like Trumpsters and Republicans?
I fully support Voter ID as long as it isn't being used as a backdoor Poll Tax, which it often is. Voter ID disenfranchises the poor and elderly based on how it's implemented. This, disproportionately, disenfranchises African-Americans. What is wrong with State's providing ID for all citizens and allowing five years for full implementation?
There's a lot of uses for a State-funded ID program; right to work, right to rent/buy housing, voting, etc. Anyone without a State ID would be detained until they could verify residency. Everyone would be required to carry their ID at all times. Is this what you want?

Whose sock puppet do you belong to?
Disagreed since the main reason for Voter ID is election integrity. The problem isn't requiring an ID. The problem is ensuring all American voters have equal and convenient access to Voter ID.
BTW, it's a great way to identify illegals.
