Wrong. Making voter id easy to get is a must. If not, it should not be allowed at all.Originally Posted by hanger4
I know of of know state that sells ID to those that can not afford one. I sure hope those "centers" provide transportation to the grocery store, food a hell of a lot more important than voting twice every couple of years.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/poste...=.8597e59be79fIn North Carolina, the legislature requested racial data on the use of electoral mechanisms, then restricted all those disproportionately used by blacks, such as early voting, same-day registration and out-of-precinct voting. Absentee ballots, disproportionately used by white voters, were exempted from the voter ID requirement. The legislative record actually justified the elimination of one of the two days of Sunday voting because “counties with Sunday voting in 2014 were disproportionately black” and “disproportionately Democratic.”
The documents acceptable for proving voters’ identity in North Carolina were the ones disproportionately held by whites, such as driver’s licenses, U.S. passports, and veteran and military IDs, and the ones that were left out were the ones often held by poor minority voters, such as student IDs, government employee IDs and public assistance IDs. The Texas voter ID law was designed the same way: There, officials accepted concealed-weapon licenses but not student or state employee IDs. The Texas legislature was repeatedly advised of the likely effect on minority voters but rebuffed nearly all amendments that would have eased its harsh impact.

Voter ID law is not a plot designed to deny the vote to black people.

How is a student ID be helpful to determine residency? For example, where I went to law school (Tulane) at least 80% of the student body were not residents of Louisiana, and therefore not eligible to vote in Louisiana. UVA is similar. It is pretty hard for a Virginia resident student to get accepted to UVA.

Ok lets look at this list that you have provided;
the ones that were left out were the ones often held by poor minority voters, student IDs, You mean like college ID?So your theory is a person that is in college is unable to obtain any other form of legal ID? Or that just minority College students can't? Are these college students poor minority voters? College ID's do not prove residency so how could they be proof of eligibility? Foreign students get IDs too can they vote?
government employee IDs Do these ID's have eligibility proof like an address? So the state Employees are poor minority voters that can't get an ID? Your state has Poor State Employees? REALLY?
public assistance IDs. Not sure about everywhere but a lot of Public assistance ID's do not have pictures so how would that work as a photo ID? If they do not have the ability to get a state issued ID how did they get the ability to get their "Public Assistance" ID?
Just saying there seems to be a few holes in that boat your in.......

In order to vote, you must first be registered. People don't simply show up at the polls with an ID and say, "I want to vote". The ID in question is not for purposes of registration - it's to confirm and verify the identity of the individual who is already on the voter rolls as a resident and a legal voter. Showing proof of residency, including having an address, in order to register to vote makes sense and no one questions that. Requiring that there be an address on the ID that you're showing to confirm that yes, that's you on the voter rolls, does not make sense - unless you're picking and choosing types of ID in order to disenfranchise a certain demographic.

How about this? Just because Dems support or oppose something that doesn't make it Constitutional. Everytime a favored issue of theirs is not upheld does not mean the ruling is political.
What is interesting is they are used to courts upholding their nonsense and now things are become more even handed and legal based.

Anyone with half a brain knows that it is designed to discourage voter turnout by minorities!
This goes along with the massive voter roll purging and voter supression efforts by the GOP!
