[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This seems like a massive own goal by the GOP. Think about it: which demographics are more likely to have passports/other forms of proof valid under this act?

- Naturalized citizens: more likely to vote Democratic
- Wealthy people who travel frequently: more likely to vote Democratic
- Young, unmarried women: one of the most Democratic-leaning demographics
- Married women who kept their maiden name: Very Democratic leaning.

On the other hand, let's think about the type of people who may not have the required ID:

- People from rural areas who rarely, if ever, leave the USA: likely a heavily Republican-leaning demographic
- Married women who change their last name: probably more Republican-leaning than their counterparts who kept their maiden names (think "tradwives")

The Democrats should still oppose this act on principle, but it would be really funny if it passes and immediately boosts Democratic chances immensely[/quote]

Many people think that long term it will hurt Republicans but shrot-term it will help them. Another group that leans left are college students and they will be totally disenfranchised because their addresses won't match. [/quote]

Most college students vote in their home district, where they grew up. That’s their address. [/quote]

This is debatable.   Many, many vote at their campus..[/quote]
