Bottom Line...in the real world, it's sometimes literally impossible...and in many others, extremely difficult...but Republicans know this, which is why they push for such laws...even though the risk of voter fraud due to no Photo ID is minuscule and hasn't affected any elections. What is certain, is that millions of voters, especially millions of elderly minority voters, can be kept from voting.

Automobile driving and a gazillion other things that require an ID.

Impress us. Impress your handlers.

Anyone has access to an I.D. - ANYONE. If their license is expired, they've got bigger problems than the voting booth. Election Days aren't sprung up as a surprise in the way that a speeding ticket can be - this is a simple requirement of responsibility.

I'm asking you (or your handlers) to state a reasonable argument as to how voters are suppressed by such election integrity laws.

honest to God U.S. citizens who deserve to have their votes counted...but then, the Voter ID promoters already know this. They also know that there is something on the order of a 0.0004% chance of in person voter fraud. Note that Voter Registration (with Signatures...Addresses...Utility Bills, etc.) allows for verification of ballots in cases where races are closely contested. This isn't about Voter Fraud...it's about Cheating citizens of their right to cast a ballot.

------------------------
In a 2009 study in Indiana, Professors Matt Barreto, Stephen Nuño, and Gabriel Sanchez found that election restrictions like voter ID laws have the greatest impact on the elderly, racial and ethnic minorities, immigrants, those with less educational attainment and lower incomes. The professors found that of the citizen adult population, 81.4% of all white eligible adults had access to a driver’s license, whereas only 55.2% of black eligible adults had the same access. Indeed, study after study has similarly concluded that burdens to voting have a large and disparate impact on individuals with fewer resources, less education, smaller social networks, and those who are institutionally isolated.

The 2007 study, Voter ID Requirements and the Disenfranchisement of Latino, Black, and Asian Voters, based on exit polls from the 2006 elections in California, New Mexico, and Washington State, found that minority voters are less likely than whites to be able to present photo identification.

Many citizens who believe they have valid and sufficient photo IDs often do not. A national survey conducted after the November 2008 election found that 95% of respondents claimed to have a driver’s license, but 16% of those respondents lacked a license that was both current and valid. So of the of Americans who possess a photo ID, many lack proper identification that would enable to them to vote in elections under the new laws passed in Wisconsin, Kansas, Texas, South Carolina, and under legislation pending in many more states.

Do not include a link. We all want to hear you explain why it’s so hard. We’ll be waiting.

my day for chuckles)...but in answer to your fundamental question...here's an AI summary of why fewer Black citizens than White don't have Photo IDs...

---------------------
AI Overview
According to research by the Brennan Center for Justice, 25% of Black voters lack acceptable photo ID, and 13% of Black adults do not possess any photo identification, according to Project Vote.

The disparity in photo ID ownership among Black Americans is attributed to several interconnected factors:

Historical Discrimination: During the Jim Crow era, many Black people were denied access to certain hospitals and therefore never received birth certificates, creating lasting generational barriers to obtaining the necessary documentation for a photo ID.

Poverty: Black communities face higher rates of poverty and are more likely to hold low-wage jobs, making the costs associated with obtaining and maintaining a photo ID, such as fees and transportation costs to ID offices, prohibitive.

Bureaucratic Obstacles: Accessing photo ID offices can be challenging, particularly for those in rural areas or with limited transportation. Many offices operate only during business hours, reports Democracy Docket. Additionally, obtaining the required underlying documents, such as birth certificates, can be complex and involve further time, effort, and expense.

Discriminatory Practices: Black communities are disproportionately impacted by discriminatory policing practices, such as searches and fines, which can lead to suspended driver's licenses at higher rates, further hindering access to a crucial form of photo ID.

These factors highlight the systemic barriers that Black Americans face in obtaining photo identification, contributing to the lower rates of ownership compared to other racial groups.

Seriously you need to pickup on comprehension skills or at least think about your responses first instead of MAGAjerking one.

Have an ID. His post was nothing but a bunch of bullshit.

enough information to answer your question...information that you, yourself, could have accessed...if you had any "Critical Thinking" skills.

You're wasting Server Space on this site.

Best you got is biased opinion stretches from 16 years ago. Worthless.

Since that time we've had four secure general elections with no result changing fraud....where is the urgency for the Texas Voter ID push?...other than Republicans having to run on Trump's performance and policies...

You want to cheat and are mad you can't. You and your handlers failed.

white voter access to Photo ID vs Black Voters' access. Given the extremely low incidence of voter fraud involving personal identification, and the large proportion of Black voters not having access to Photo ID, there is clear and unnecessary disenfranchisement for many eligible voters...nothing 'nonsensical' about that.

Have you uncovered any evidence since that study to prove that Voter Fraud due to lack of Photo ID has become greater, and to an extent that it has affected any elections, thus necessitating a requirement for Voter Photo ID?

Keep flailing.

disenfranchised by Photo ID requirements. Don't hide from reality...face facts. If you want to debate them, be my guest...but bring SUBSTANCE to bear when you do.

You can do virtually nothing in this country without some form of government-issued I.D.

And the Democrats would never help them get one.

It’s true racism and Nazi dictator authoritarian bullshit and you know it.
