Because legal voters dont all have the ids.

I thought it was good for a country to have high voter turn out.
It seems pretty anti democracy to find keeping legal American voters from voting is a good idea.
The overall turnout in Georgia increased 6.7 percentage points from the 2004 election -- the second highest increase in turnout of any state in the country. According to the JCPES, the black share of the statewide vote increased in Georgia from 25% in the 2004 election, when the photo ID law was not in effect, to 30% in the 2008 election, when the photo ID law was in effect.
By contrast, the Democratic turnout in the neighboring state of Mississippi -- which has no voter ID requirement but also has a large black population similar to Georgia's -- increased by only 2.35 percentage points.
In Indiana, which the Supreme Court said had the strictest voter ID law in the country, the turnout of Democratic voters in the November election increased by 8.32 percentage points. That was the largest increase in Democratic turnout of any state in the country. The increase in overall turnout in Indiana was the fifth highest in the country, but only because the turnout of Republican voters actually went down 3.57 percentage points. The nearby state of Illinois (no photo ID requirement) had an increase in Democratic turnout of only 4.4 percentage points -- nearly half Indiana's increase.
Your hatred of America is just fine.keeping Americans from voting for political purposes is just fine with the right I see
I want Americans to vote.
You people obviously dont want Americans to vote.

Why do you hate America?Mr. von Spakovsky, a visiting legal scholar at The Heritage Foundation
That is an opinion piece
before you guys tear too much into truthmatters can't you just ask yourself if it's possible that a highly partisan governor might just be influenced by the voting patterns of a particular area when it comes time to close a dmv?
isn't it possible? wouldn't it be dispicable if he did? shouldn't we at least examine it before knee-jerking into defense mode?

If you're talking about the WSJ piece I posted, the numbers cited are not opinions. They are what you call, facts.

They dont care about reality.
They merely spew hate on anyone who exposes their party for what it is

Keeping out voter fraud is what is fine with the right.
