"BUT THEY ALSO SAID, that it should be a 5 year process, BEFORE enacting the law that could disenfranchise many citizens."
What total nonsense.
"Although liberal media support the old wives tale of GOP voter suppression by requiring identification, careful analysis shows a quite different reality:
“The findings of this analysis suggest that voter identification requirements, such as requiring non-photo and photo identification, have virtually no suppressive effect on reported voter turnout.
Controlling for factors that influence voter turnout, states with stricter voter identification laws largely do not have the claimed negative impact on voter turnout when compared to states with more lenient voter identification laws.
Based on the Eagleton Institute's findings, some members of the media have claimed that voter identification law suppress voter turnout, especially among minorities.[80] Their conclusion is unfounded. When statistically significant and negative relationships are found in our analysis, the effects are so small that the findings offer little policy significance.
More important, minority respondents in states that required photo identification are just as likely to report voting as are minority respondents from states that only required voters to say their name.”

New Analysis Shows Voter Identification Laws Do Not Reduce Turnout
So if more draconian ID requirements neither suppress turnout nor reduce voter fraud (since ID related voter fraud is virtually non-existent)
why are Republicans so zealously trying to impose them?
Funny how liberals think their voting base is too stupid to get a photo ID. We have ID requirements here in Michigan, no problem. You're a clueless, moron, who only spews stupid, libera,l talking points. You don't actually know anything but what you're fed
It took me approximately 30 seconds to know more about your state than you do. But then, we're talking about you.
By law, every Michigan voter must present picture identification at the polls, or sign an affidavit attesting that he or she is not in possession of picture identification.
Voting Without Photo ID
If you do not have photo ID, you can still cast a ballot simply by signing an affidavit. The affidavit can be used by:
Once you sign the affidavit, you may cast your ballot. It will be counted with all other ballots on Election Day.
- Voters who do not have acceptable photo ID
- Voters who have photo ID but didn't bring it to the polls

Is your state government's official site wrong, or are you wrong?
"It took me approximately 30 seconds blah blah blah...."
OMG!
More time and effort than you put in to acquiring your entire education!!!
Is that what passes for a joke in Koreatown?
Actually...you're the joke.
