[quote=Anonymous]OP, here is what you don’t get, or maybe you do. In Republican controlled states, acceptable forms of ID were deliberately chosen to favor likely Republican voters. Gun licenses, for example might be fine, while college issued student ID cards might not be, even from State schools.  Driver’s Licenses are rarer among younger and more urban voters in some areas. They also cost money, might require a difficult or even impossible to get birth certificate, and might require a trip to a DMV in a location that you need a car to get to. Oops. Just a coincidence, I’m sure.

- Most of us would be fine with a free, government issued ID card — as long as it did not increase our vulnerability to fraud. Pause for a minute and note that the Republicans have never supported this idea. Yep, the party that says that this is needed has zero plans for accomplishing this.

- the most important issue though is that actual voter fraud is infinitesimally small.

- While you’re thinking through these issues, maybe pause and look at what’s going on now in Georgia and why the very politicians who are for increased voter “security “ are the same ones who are against the Voting Rights Act.

OP, your use of the word “whining “ suggests that you’re less than sincere. You’re right: it isn’t that hard. Which is why so many Republican politicians are making it harder — at least for some of us.  But you knew that.  [/quote]
