All of the bullshit the demalquedacrats have instituted to "make it easier to vote" are designed to help demalquedacrats cheat. Then they put up road blocks to investigate their cheating and claim "there is no proof of cheating".

US judges strike down voter ID restrictions in three states
Judges have rejected voter identification laws in three US states, including North Carolina, Kansas and Wisconsin. Critics said the laws restricted voting rights for poor people and those from minority communities.

The North Carolina General Assembly "enacted legislation that restricted voting and registration in five different ways, all of which disproportionately affected African Americans," federal judge Diana Motz wrote in her ruling.
The measure, which was signed into law by North Carolina's Republican Governor Patrick McCrory in August 2013 was approved "with discriminatory intent," the ruling said. The new law required voters at polls starting 2016 to show photo identity cards, "which African American voters disproportionately lacked and eliminated or reduced registration and voting access tools that African Americans disproportionately used," Motz said.
The North Carolina voting law limited the number of acceptable photo IDs to six, reduced early voting and eliminated same-day registration. Supporters of the law said the restriction for IDs would help combat voter fraud, but critics, like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the NCAAP say the measure discriminates against minority voters and poor people, who are less likely to have drivers' licenses, for example.
Kansas, Wisconsin follow suit
Similarly in Kansas, which traditionally votes Republican, a judge ordered the state to count thousands of votes in local and state elections from people who did not provide proof of US citizenship when they registered.
The ruling was a response to Kansas Secretary of State Kris Krobach's proposed rule to prevent illegal residents from voting. But the judge's decision meant around 17,000 voters would have their ballots counted in the upcoming elections for the state legislature. Supporters say there have been few cases of fraud in the past.
In Wisconsin, considered a swing state, US Judge James Peterson ordered the state to quickly issue election IDs to people who were lacking required documents such as birth certificates. He struck down restrictions on early and absentee voting, saying they discriminated against blacks. He removed a prohibition on using expired student IDs for voting and on distributing absentee ballots by fax or email.
Voting standards in the US are agreed upon at a local level and come under scrutiny before presidential polls in the so-called swing states, where voters may choose either Democrats or Republicans. African Americans have been reliable Democrat voters, and party members believe the voter identification law may be a ploy to suppress their vote.
The latest rulings follow a recent decision by a New Orleans court to ease restrictions on the voter ID law in Texas, which critics consider

no. the narrow ID requirement is a state purview.
It's when it's linked to disenfranchisement activities it becomes racist/un-Constitutional
it's not based on needs. It's a purview against "potential fraud" if nothing else. (arguable)
But it's always accompanied by gross disenfranchisement

So what? They are all intended to repress voter turn out by exaggerating a virtually non-existent problem. Voter fraud. Since all...and I mean all...objective sources of data show, uncategorically, that voter fraud in the U.S. is not even statistically significant.

we don't need gun ID's then, correct? wouldn't that be racist as well? it disenfranchises poor minorities from owning and/or carrying guns for their protection.
it wasn't the ID that did it -it was the aggregate. The courts have never voted against the ID itself ( maybe some old Section 4 stuff).
Myself I find it absolutely odd not to produce ID ..it's not a burden.
For those who can't afford it though it has to be given free.
Guess you don't need an ID to open a bank account or get on an airplane, or buy cigarettes or alcohol, or a gun either....it would discriminate against the poor and minorities...
Funny how those same people can dig up an ID to apply for welfare and food stamps, etc with no problem....
Liberals have no power to logically use their tiny brains.....
How can you possibly know how bad voter fraud is if you never look for it .... like the RNC was forbidden to check the validity of voter registrations by the courts years ago
because they claimed it discriminated against minorities....total bullshit.....
If a voters registration is bullshit, they shouldn't be allowed to vote....no matter who they are.
