Google a map in the south of the DMV locations and superimpose the map with where the communities are majority AA. You will see the problem.
If you are making a statement that "only the black people somehow can't make it to the DMV" then you have clearly never experienced the problem. Glad you are enjoying your privilege.
So now it's only about the black people living in the South who can't make it to the DMV, but can somehow find a way to make it everywhere else they need to go to. But the poor white people have no problem making it to the DMV? This is almost as ridiculous as the "can't find my birth certificate" excuse. lol
Millions and millions of people in this country, for multiple reasons, do not have access to basic services.
Numerous people never had birth certificates, and therefore cannot “find” them because there are no birth certificates to find.
Literally no one in this long and tedious thread has made statements about what “poor white people” have “no problem” doing — although it has been pointed out numerous times that laws have been framed to disproportionately impact Blacks and other people of color.

Cry me a river. How can take they make it to the polling location every other year, but can't seem to make it to the DMV in the last 10 years ( or however long a state ID is valid for)?
See my earlier post about my ill father, the WWII Marine.
Why are you determined to be so ignorant?

You missed the point.
People are registered to vote in a jurisdiction. To register, you would need to show that you live there (utility bills, tax returns, etc) and to prove that you are a citizen. The passport takes care of that and it is a valid photo ID at the polling place, as shown in the extensive list above of states that recognize the passport as a valid voter ID.

You seem to be ignorant of the fact that many people do very few of those things.
I just went to the dentist. They know me by name, sight, and even by my voice. No ID needed. I don’t drink, smoke or own a gun — that cuts your list down considerably. I’ve had one of my bank accounts since I was six, and even then I realized that many people could not afford to have bank accounts.
TLDR: Your lengthy list really doesn’t support your conclusion. If you think it does, you either need to work on your critical thinking skills, or you are for voter disenfranchisement. There is no other plausible reason. See how that works?
I think some of you simply want to be outraged about SOMETHING.

US passport doesn't establish the right to vote in a local/state jurisdiction. It only allows passage to and from the US to other countries.
What a lie. Why are you so vehemently against American citizens being required to have ID in order to vote? Why does this threaten you so?
DP
It doesn't but if you don't solve the problem of making ID's accessible for all who are entitled to them, then it is a form of voter suppression.

We don't have insecure elections. It is a myth. The only insecurity in the 2020 election were a couple of GOP voters in PA, another GOP from Florida who voted in GA and some wacko lady in Nevada.
There is literally no widespread voter fraud and thus no problem to fix. The only reason these bills are happening is so the GOP can suppress votes and try to remain in power.

If no, there is zero reason to make any of us show an ID.
What has changed in the intervening years that necessitates voter ID?
Not one Republican has addressed these points.
Because they are utterly stupid and irrelevant “points” which have nothing to do with present day? Just a thought.
Show, dear, don’t tell. Why has this country allowed voting without an ID for centuries if it’s so important?
With upward of 22 million illegal aliens present, it is important to know who actually has the right to vote. ID is essential.
You are welcome.
