Neither Republicans nor Democrats are morally pure; so I would expect each to promote those policies which would likely benefit their own party.
This means that Republicans will be very likely to support Voter-ID laws, whereas Democrats will be equally likely to claim "voter suppression" here.
But I do think that the Republicans have the much better argument here (even if not really the moral high ground; neither party, in my opinion, may reasonably claim that).
Since all may obtain identification for free (even if they do not have a valid driver's license), there is really no reason--as far as I can see, anyway--to object to a law that requires identification.

Never heard of anyone dying of starvation or dehydration while voting. Made up "problem" if I've ever heard of one (I'd NEVER drink water in a voting line in the first place, because I'd have to piss). Seems like a law that might make some fat $#@!s uncomfortable but harms no one.

I am the President-Elect of the United States.
And now for something completely different, the truth:
"No person shall solicit votes in any manner or by any means or method, nor shall any person distribute or display any campaign material, nor shall any person give, offer to give, or participate in the giving of any money or gifts, including, but not limited to, food and drink, to an elector,"
"Buy a man eat fish, the day, teach a man to a life time! "
"As one computer said, if you're on the train and they say 'PORTAL BRIDGE' you know you better make other plans."

There's nothing out of line with that new law. The OP attempted to misrepresent the details. That's what she was known for. Well that and her over the top hysterics.
