The way voter ID laws like this prevent citizens from voting is generally considered a feature — by restricting ID forms common among the young, such as student IDs, they change the makeup of the electorate to favor Republicans.

    Most of them have a national ID that everybody gets, not the complex mix of IDs that the US has

    And let’s be clear, the people saying “we must have ID to vote” are VEHEMENTLY opposed to this idea.

      Oh, that’s weird, because giving everyone an ID and passing these laws would end all non-citizens voting, so it sounds like a fine compromise to get what they are asking for. Almost as if they are lying about what they want, very curious.
