Sure. Voter ID laws aren't being used to fight the minuscule number of fraud cases, they are being used to try to stop the massive turnout of black, Hispanic and young voters. Hence, states allowing hunting licenses to be used but not college ids. What next a poll tax or a literacy test?
How do you know that? Why not ensure that only those registered to vote in a precinct/district/state are voting in a particular election?
Nothing is keeping a black person, a Hispanic person, or a young voter from getting an ID card or registering to vote.
Nobody is discussing a poll tax or literacy test.
Because I study.
I think it is because you assume a great deal.
It should be.Isn't a state college ID an ID card?
What does curtailing early voting have to do with ID laws? Because the states that are pushing voter ID laws are also limiting early voting. Research the percentage of black voters who used early voting in the 2008 presidential election.
Not until you answer some of the questions with something more legitimate than "because I study". Why is it that whenever you're asked a question, you bring up 2 or 3 other things (poll taxes, literacy tests, black early voting?"
Again,
Why not ensure that only those registered to vote in a precinct/district/state are voting in a particular election? In 2008 presidential election none of it would have mattered. But what about off year elections? What about municipal elections that are barely covered even in the towns where they are held? A few votes from outside the electorate could sway who wins.
Again,
Nothing is keeping a black person, a Hispanic person, or a young voter from getting an ID card or registering to vote. If you think there is, please tell us what is doing so.
